embarrassing. trinidad should be awarded full points here

Will Trinidad win first innings points? Will the players numbers be added to their first class records?

@Jumpstart

I agree with you that Trinidad should get full points; based on the fact that Leewards was responsible for preparing a pitch for first class competition and they failed to.

They say that the match is drawn so TT should get points and Seales and Phillip should get their figures included in their FC records. Amazing how the pitch went from being able to sustain a fightback from Louis and Hamilton to no good for FC cricket.

The pitch was playable,

Play was halted on the first session of the third day after the pitch began to exhibit unpredictable and uneven behaviour, raising serious concerns for player safety. During this period, Leeward Islands player Jeremiah Louis was struck while batting. He was immediately attended to by medical personnel and subsequently transported to hospital to be evaluated for a possible concussion and is reported to be in stable condition.

The decision to abandon the match was made in accordance with the official playing conditions governing the competition. Under these conditions, when on-field umpires determine that it is dangerous or unreasonable for play to continue, play must be stopped and the CWI Match Referee consulted.

Following discussions with the curator, it was determined that the pitch could not be safely repaired without creating an unfair advantage and was therefore deemed unfit to resume, resulting in the match being abandoned as a draw.

Both teams will be awarded points earned up until the abandonment of the contest in accordance with the championship’s playing conditions.

@methodic

Leeward players were responsible for prepping the pitch? Again, we do not want another Phil Hughes incident. The right call was made.

@voiceofreason

Phillip Hughes died because he turned his head to a bouncer. That can happen anywhere. The fact that it happened at the SCG, the most placid spin friendly wicket in Australia is proof of that. If Hughes had not suffered a traumatic brain injury, the game wouldn’t have been stopped. Louis was the first dude in this game to get hit in the head. I don’t recall the Sri Lanka West Indies game in the 2003 World Cup being abandoned after Fernando had knocked out Sarwan cold, as in Sarwan was unconscious and many of us wondered if he had been hurt in a life altering way. This abandonment was farcical and stop conveniently citing a tragedy to prove your nonsensical point
