Post by: Vantage_Cricket on July 17, 2012, 03:44:28 PM: I've got a game scheduled for tomorrow night. Hoping to get to the nets this evening and then play a game tomorrow!

I've got my hopes up, forecast doesn't look good for either though.

I heard that the Jetstream will be making its way north as of this weekend. If this is indeed true, what say we extend the season into October and beyond?!

This is the first season where we are playing into September so hopefully we get good weather for a long while to make up for the rubbish start to the summer..

This quote makes me all the more upset for deciding to start up a cricket shop in this of all years... But at least they're playing cricket everywhere else in the world - big droughts in some places too! Have they introduced a hosepipe ban in the USA yet?

I don't know abt the US but we had a fire ban in Nova Scotia that was lifted last week. i.e no outdoor fires allowed even if you are right next to the water..
