Don’t know what it is about England that attracts ICC so much but one has to assume it is something strong.
Because we were not even over the nightmare of the ODI World Cup, and ICC organised the final of the World Test Championship in Southampton, knowing fully well that it will rain most probably. It’s June, for God’s sake.
Update from Southampton 🌧️

Anyway, a little play did happen on day 1, but it wasn’t enough to quench our thirst for some high-quality cricket. Here are people complaining about it on Twitter.

I can’t stand to hear “rain is the winner” again.
