ECB asked BCCI to forfeit the test as there has been one more case, BCCI says it will play if players test negative.

Looks like ECB is scared to lose another test match, LoL!

Source for this? Because it sounds like absolute twaddle

no sources though - so still may be twaddle

I've seen people refer to the Times of India as TOIlet; they then post an article later saying it's to go ahead as planned.

Clickbait journalism

Given the revenues at stake and that Eng have a chance to prevent series loss, not to mention the high levels of entertainment from closely fought and top quality cricket, I doubt ECB would want to call off unless absolutely needed.
I think Eng will come really hard in this game, and wouldn't be surprised if the series ends in a draw. OT is an England fortress. Don't believe this Ind team is better than the Eng team, both are quite even IMO.

Indian camp reporting niggles to several batsmen and bowlers, so interesting to see what team they field tomorrow.

Apparently now a few players have concerns about playing and it's very likely they don't play today.

I have tickets tomorrow, argh

Official, game off.

Such a shame! But I guess its the right decision. Cant wait for the Ashes thread to start now!

its being reported that the indian team were worried about about missing the IPL if they had to isolate, if thats true then its pretty disrespectful to the ECB and shows their feelings on test cricket.

at least they are making them forfeit it rather than call it abandoned. i think we would have won this game anyway

Its all hear say. Wasnt yesterday's news that ECB want India to cancel but India are keen on playing? Regarding the comment that Eng would have won the game anyways; whatever makes the fans sleep easy I guess! LoL!

Being reported on the BBC that India refused to play, even after ECB offered to delay the start by a day, and therefore have forfeited.

Not convinced England would have won though!

I don�t know if we would of won but I suspect the rescheduled IPL has a huge bearing on this decision

It�s a real shame it�s been a great series

i would guess there are financial ramifications and there will be negotiations ongoing. have seen figures ranging from 30m upto 50m losses from broadcasting and ticket sales so the Ecb will likely being desperate to recoup as much of that as possible.

Just play two T20s instead..that shoud cover all the costs and would be good practice before the T20 world cup. It will also help Pujara make a case for himself to be included in the squad

ppccopener · « **Reply #808 on:** September 10, 2021, 08:27:32 AM »

Estimated cancelled test match 20m

IPL value to BCCI 300m

I�m doing the maths now

Wonder if they told Bairstow he was dropped or shelved that decision
