If only August had more than 31 days so we could then have fitted three Test matches in. Next year August has even less days because we can't even squeeze a single Ashes Test in.
The Golf was suspended around 6.45pm after the news was released. Still a few players yet to finish round 1 and I feel that there might not be any play Friday.
Football over the weekend will probably be cancelled too.
I'm probably gonna get pelters but cancelling sport is absolutely ridiculous... What do we have to do sit inside to prove we are sad?
I have to.agree with you. Life goes on & what are people supposed to do over the weekend if the football, cricket & golf are all cancelled. Sports also takes your mind off things & I'm.sure Her Majesty would not want people just moping around all weekend doing nothing.

Kind of get your point but as a mark of respect to a lady who devoted her entire life in serving our country, three days without sport isn't a big deal.
would the Queen have wanted people to miss out on their sporting action , I don’t think so there’ll be plenty of time around the funeral to pay our respects and everyone deals with things differently.

I was meant to be going to the oval today. Not a big problem for me as i'll get my refund. But I have mates coming down from Durham for the game. They've lost out on train tickets and hotels which isn't cheap.
I'm not trying to make light of the Queen's death she was an incredible lady. I just don't think halting life is necessary.

The cost for people isn't something I considered and I've changed my view (not that my change of view will change anything).
Left the ground at 11.30 and spent the full day in the Fentimans Arms and one of the restaurants in Little Portugal. Good to be putting much-needed money into local businesses rather than in the pockets of the clowns that run English cricket
Discussions are still ongoing with Cricket South Africa about whether it is possible to extend the match to Tuesday, which is when the tourists are scheduled to fly home.
The ECB added there would need to be a consideration for the "additional stresses on London infrastructure and safety" if a sixth day is to be arranged.

A shame the umpires at Canterbury weren't so eager to avoid any play...
I'm not expecting better tomorrow.
I'm still pissed off that having seen just 32 overs, I got no refund of any sort from Lord's
15.1 to 30 overs half refund.
Seems to me its best just to rearrange it like they did with the deciding India Test. Would be a shame to have a decider over just 2 or 3 days.

Nothing like leaving room for contingencies
The Test is currently set to go ahead as scheduled, meaning Saturday will remain the third day, after no play was possible on day one because of rain.
