England vs Australia becomes FOURTH match to be abandoned in T20 World Cup cricket farce Down Under

Published on October 28, 2022 at 02:13 PM

ENGLAND’S T20 World Cup clash against Australia has been abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain.

That is the fourth match to finish without a result because of the poor weather Down Under.

Jos Buttler and Aaron Finch discuss the conditions with the umpires on the field

The old rivals were due to lock horns at the Melbourne Cricket Ground – but the rain poured down and made the pitch unplayable.

Captains Jos Buttler and Aaron Finch had frequent chats with the umpires in the middle.

But with the outfield completely waterlogged, there was no chance of any cricket – even after they tried to delay the toss.

Now both sides face uncertainty trying to make it through the Super 12 stage.

Buttler said: “It was due to a be a massive occasion, a full house against Australia, one of the biggest games of your career so we are very disappointed not to play.

“We have retained full faith in the group, we haven’t become a bad team overnight, we are full of match winners are looking forward to the rest of the tournament.”;

Finch added: “The outfield was drenched, it was as wet as I have ever seen it.

“I think the run-ups were an issue and the inner circle. It comes down to player safety.

“If you are trying to run out there, it was going to be a real issue.”;
