England vs Australia T20 World Cup Match Called Off Due to Incessant Rain At MCG

On October 28, 2022, heavy rain impeded two major matches at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It is time to bring the curtains down as after Afghanistan vs Ireland, the cricket rivalry between England and Australia got called off. 

 There was no gameplay possible at the MCG; the relentless rain brought huge disappointment for all the players. Each squad has been rewarded with one point each. 

 Words By Jos Butler  ‘Was supposed to be a massive occasion, full house here against Australia, biggest game of your career, very disappointed not to be able to play tonight. Would have been a great place to do it (100th game). But full focus on our next match and keep our tournament alive. We've been playing some good cricket leading into the tournament. Really disappointing the other night especially when we had the majority of things in our favor. We don't become a bad team overnight. We are full of match-winners. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament. The guys are resting up well and we're ready to play tonight as well. Few days now to clear everything out, have a couple of good training days and then look forward to the next game.’

 Words By Aaron Finch  ‘The outfield has taken a drenching over the last couple of weeks. That's the wettest I've ever seen in this stadium. The run-ups were a real issue and around the inner circle, it was very wet. It's more about players' safety. We saw one of the Zimbabweans go down the other day. If you are trying to run there, it's going to be a real issue. Everyone was ready to play, there was a great turn-out, disappointing not to get on. The amount of rain that Melbourne has had has been amazing. He (Wade) was going to play tonight. He had a few symptoms yesterday but he was good to go.’
