Like some people's trousers, no doubt.

12.09pm Here's Firdose with an update: 'Inspection has begun. Umpired paying special attention to some areas around the run ups. There are a couple which can be fairly easily scuffed up. But its the fine leg boundary from the Umgeni End which could be the most problematic. Very dark patches of sand, which suggests it hasn't dried completely.'

That pic I posted was pretty conclusive imo, pitch is muddy still, doesn't look much different from this morning
|

No way can they play today after looking at these pics
|
|
By:
Jesus, looks like no more play this match!
|
|
By:
Not sure they will play tomorrow!
|
|
By:
Not an expert but that looks like it will take a long long time to repair itself
|
|
By:
You wouldn't play club cricket with areas of concern like that
|
|
By:
This is what the Durban scoreboard has to say: "Underfoot conditions remain treacherous. Water comes up to the surface on footfall." Explains it all, doesn't it.

Getting excited, this match could be done

1.01 nap job

By:
Impossible to make it fit for an international game of test cricket
|
|
By:
The market is fighting 1.4 but not for long imo. 1.2 or less by the end of the day
|
|
By:
Wet and bogey outfields causing problems when cricket is played outside of cricket season. Funny that.
|
|
By:
When you hear the word "treacherous" in terms of an outfield it's time to call it a day!
|
|
By:
Wait continues here in Durban. Umpires will re-inspect again at 2pm local time. Still water rising up from ground around boundary
|
|
By:
The umps must do this so they can stagger their bets and maximise profits. No other explanation imo

Draw backers reaching for this bad boy

By:
$342m paid to members and can not afford reasonable facilities to stage a test match
 |

By:
All they needed was some huge plastic sheets to cover the outfield, doubt it would cost more than 1k!
|
|
By:
2 current test matches not playing due to water on the outfield, not good enough !!!

Imagine buying it, drinking it and then realising its no better than a cheap bottle from Tescos!
