9.55 am The covers on either side of the pitch are being gradually peeled off. The straight covers remain in place.

One positive coming from this match:

The truth has been exposed. we need far superior drainage facilities in Chittagong Stadium. if this event didn't happen, nobody would have done anything about it. Now hopefully something should be done. Lotus Kamal should take immediate action and implement a drainage system in the stadium very similar if not identical to Dhaka.

CTG test BD vs WI ends in a draw

CTG test BD vs BCB...BCB wins by an innings and 2011 runs

Update:

10.10 am The straight covers are coming off now, and it does look like there has been some generous leakage. My punt is that we are still a long way away from action.

Yes, but we'll need to score a quick 100+ and then put WI on...

There is no chance for play anymore of this match.

10.20 am The match officials are surveying the status, and they are stepping quite gingerly on the squelchy outfield.

"This match can't be resumed today. Luckily if it starts, would not continue for more than 2 hours. So, instead of continuing batting Bangladesh should declare and try to get the benefits of wet pitch." Ermm, what may those benefits be, Ahmed? Does the bowling side get the more delicious scones?
"I am sure there are many people also talking and sending feedback about this. But this is absolutely appalling from BCB. ZACS is suppose to be an approved venue for International matches. But facilities make it look and sound worse than our club grounds in Dunedin, NZ. Someone should be held accountable for this disaster. No doubt and yes ofcourse we can not predict the natural causes, but what we can do to make sure we are doing our bits to clean up and provide a minimum standard for players and spectators. As I recall this is not the first time in this very same venue," says a very emotional Em.

Well, the good news is that we can't lose. But the bad news is that we can't win.
