Cricket, glorious cricket, is back. But, England’s weather was up to its usual tricks, playing spoilsport as the entire first session was abandoned due to rain and a wet outfield.

Bummer.

However, fans on Twitter can dish up some beauties, and they didn’t disappoint as rain dampened the exciting mood somewhat.

ENG vs WI: Twitter reacts to the (delayed) return of international cricket
Strange but beautiful sight as the coin is tossed on the return of international cricket.

The best reactions to the delayed start to the 1st England vs West Indies Test:

England and rain? Cricket is truly back. Our game can fight just about anything, except one thing…

Love a good Simpsons/Cricket meme.

Our patience was certainly being tested. Time for England to invest in a roof or two.

2020, please. Just one request.

The countdown was on for the return of international cricket

Excitement was building as the England vs West Indies Test series drew closer. The best sport, alright!

The to-do list is simple. Block out everything. It is Test cricket time!

For some, the very sight of an upcoming live match was too much to handle! A beautiful sight.

Joy as international cricket finally resumed, Stokes adjusting to life as skipper, and surprise at Broad’s omission

Seeing international cricket back on the calendar is a sight to behold.

Fans took to Twitter to express their views on live cricket, just the way it used to be. It may be four months since international cricket was last played, but it seems more like an eternity given what the world has and continues to go through.

The boys shook hands and realised they shouldn’t. This is going to take some getting used to…

Here’s to an excellent Test match and series!
