Saturday's press no doubt will be high on condemnation of the Antiguan Cricket authorities. Let's get one thing straight: today's farce of a "test match" at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium was totally unacceptable. It was a problem that could have been totally avoided.
But I have to look at the positives. I am very impressed with the swift response to a nightmare situation. To re-stage the test at the quaint Antigua Recreation Ground just 48 hours later is a terrific move.
The ARG ground staff, match-day staff, broadcasting authorities and everyone else involved should all be applauded. It saves the day for thousands of England fans who have spent thousands on the dream holiday.
Let's hope an under-prepared wicket can create a result instead of the usual flat-track draw.
