The Kiwi one is in on it as well, and the Australian team. I think it's sad more than anything.

It goes back to the world cup IMO. When the umpires stepped in to stop England winning a game against Australia.

So are the England supporters confident that this brand new better English side can chase 120 here? What about if it edges a bit closer to 150?

The county have insurance apparently so they won't lose out. Dunno about the concessions. Sucks for the people who were due to go. Especially club cricketers who earlier in the week ruled themselves out of playing tomorrow and who will now have nothing to do tomorrow.
