Rain

Why do we get 6 completely dry weeks and then heavy rain on the day of the first league match?

Why?

Why oh why?

Seriously, why?

Its our 1st game today as well. Rain due at 3pm. I have to work so I won't feel too gutted when it's abandoned!!!
On the weather front Bristol seems to be crap in may and august.
And for some strange reason Monday to Friday always seems fine and the weekends hot n miss. The joys of English weather!

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

We've had 2 weekends of cricket and last Sunday started Wessex league but this was the first Saturday league, been raining since about 10pm last night and forecast heavy showers until 4 this afternoon when it will be merely light showers.....

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

1st league game and its crap here! Now thanks to some poor fixture organising and weak friendly opposition I have batted about 6 overs (29*) and bowled 2 (1.5 1w 2r) in match conditions!


Not the best start to a season!

It's not great in Worcestershire either, it's dry now but it rained over night and it's supposed to start raining at about 1ish.

We started the league 2 weeks ago and in the first game we were saved by a thunder storm. We were getting thrashed but because of the crazy draw points system we came out with a winning draw and 2 less points than the opposition.
