Rain delays Morgan debut

Eoin Morgan will have to wait before making his England debut, with the first of three one-day matches against the West Indies having been called off.The batsman, who was born in Ireland and has already represented his native country, was due to come in to the side after Kevin Pietersen was ruled out of the series.But despite a £600,000 investment in the drainage system at Headingley, showers yesterday morning prevented play from ever getting underway.With two games now to play, some bookmakers are tipping a drawn series as the most likely outcome - with both Stan James and Paddy Power offering odds of 11/10 - while others are backing England.Meanwhile, William Hill has seen money for an England victory in the Ashes series since Australia's squad was announced.Spokesman Rupert Adams remarked: "Punters seem far less daunted by an Australian team sheet without Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist and Hayden."
