This is laughable. The first day's play at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium was abandoned after 10 balls because of a dangerous outfield. This is a new record if no further play takes place (the previous record was 10.1 overs, thsi was 1.4).
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) must be at fault for this debacle, apparently the ground has never been tested fully. They have to relocate the match immediately until they can sort out the problems. If they don't relocate than the match should be forfeited to England as the WICB are at fault (I was at a test once at Edgbaston and despite heavy rain once it had stopped and there was a slight delay the match went ahead without any problems).
The WICB have to make sure in future that their venues are up to scratch.
