Only Test: Afghanistan v NZ @ Greater Noida Sep 9-13 2024

[TheParraboy]

This test is in India, not Afghanistan

This is Indias latest and 30th test venue

First day rained out, forecast today not great but better for day 2
Hopefully the toss and some action

Might need some Bazball style of play to get a result

There wasn't actually much rain apart from a bit more overnight, the problem is the horrific quality of the ground and lack of drainage. A farcical situation to lose 2 full days to it and maybe more.

May as well call it off.

f**k all rain yet it seems the Ground isn't up to standard.

Who signed off on the ground being fit for a Test Match.

The BCCI clearly couldn't give a toss getting the ground up to scratch for 2 neutral teams

They should contact the drainage guys at Allianz stadium for guidance..

I'm annoyed that NZ agreed to play them tbh - ICC should just ban cricket with them

Yep that test got what it deserved.

And it produced some hilarious photos such as the blokes trying to dry the ground with a fan attached to some extension cords.
