The ECB have updated the guidelines.....

Changing Rooms and Teas are back from the 17th. Albeit in a bit of different manner.

Alright we in Austria are starting our season in 2-3 weeks it seems. So that's some light on the horizon.

If it’s not COVID it’s the rain! Not played since a pre-season friendly and looks like it will be rained off this week too.

It's frustrating at the moment and the unsettled weather looks like carrying on into June. It's doubly annoying as we had that prolonged dry spell in March and April.

I've tried turning it into a positive as it has given me more time to build up strength in the gym that I'd normally do during the winter but was prevented by lockdown.

It will get better, surely?

Its also damn cold too.

It was very predictable that it would turn in May but lets keep hoping for a good dry and warm remaining Summer

Anyone's ground starting to look a bit waterlogged?

It's getting close to the point where our match gets called off the day before due to standing water on the outfield.

We had last weekend’s matches called off on Friday morning. It was a good decision, as even at nets on Tuesday evening the square was remarkably squishy. On the downside, it meant I had to spend Sunday at Blenheim Palace with the family in the pouring rain.

Hopefully this coming weekend we might have better news.

The last two Saturdays have been a wash out and the prospect of playing this weekend is diminishing with a poit forecast and the ground already wet.

A bizarre year so far with weather in March where we could have played then May verging on a wash out.

We have righted blown over sightscreens & even covers.

We’ve now pegged down a tarpaulin ahead of tomorrow’s rain.

The joys of cricket.

Yeah we've had to do the same, first time in ages we've had the track covered by a flat sheet only - covers have gone into hiding behind the trees!

We had one called off on Tuesday even though it was nice and sunny due to water logging in the outfield. It looks like May will be a washout for most teams and we will only get some action in June.
