ICC was busy giving stadiums in Bangladesh demerit points because our pitches "were not sporty".

There is no excuse for World Cup venues to have such poor drainage.
 
Unbelievable stuff from the ICC. Yes these stadiums do deserve demerit points.

I hope the India Australia match gets washed out due to a farce like this. Maybe then the ICC will ensure stadiums have appropriate drainage.
 
Inshallah India vs England will be washed out as well. Maybe then Incompetent Cricket Council will wake up.

Noooo , i have plans to watch this on SUN. Want a full game, hopefully Ind wins.
 
This idea has my support, if this nonsense happens in WCs/WT20s there should also be a couple of years ban on that venue from hosting ICC affiliated matches.
 
And England is supposed to be gold standard in hosting cricket.
 
I've seen Mirpur be showered for a few hours and yet still be able to host a match within the hour
 
Be prepared to get another washout on Wednesday when PAK is to play against AUS. Have some energy for that day also to bash ICC.
 
To be fair it has been hosing down all over England and Wales today.
 
I don't know why Bristol was allocated this game. Don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say Pakistan have a large UK fanbase and merit bigger grounds for its matches like Old Trafford and Edgbaston.

I'm surprised Taunton of all places is hosting a big game like Pakistan-Australia.
