The Test series between England and West Indies has marked the return of international cricket after a forced break due to the coronavirus pandemic and almost everyone, fans and cricketers, are thirsty for some good cricketing action. While the two teams dished out some exciting cricket in Southampton in the first Test, viewers were left frustrated during the start of the match due to rain.
The template has continued in Manchester, where the second Test got underway on Thursday. The start of the match was delayed by 90 minutes due to rain. The wait was frustrating for everyone and New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham decided to vent it out on Twitter, but with his trademark wit.
