I like how people think grieving is an exact science.. 'two day turnaround'. **** me, just give the players as much time as they need. If they means we lose a test then so be it.
This.
Will say it again, it's not a cricket issue, I don't get 'draw the line' viewpoint....who really cares if a test is missed, it's not a factor. This isn't a common occurrence, so there is no point drawing parallels with anything similar possibly occurring. I would be hopeful and would like if it they played, but if they are not mentally ready for it, then they should be supported 110% if they don't play.
They're not really celebrating his life if they go out and get belted because they aren't mentally equipped to play.
The team being his friend first and teammates second, along with Hughes family and them only should decide whether they're right to go or not.
