[Alan Harper's Tash]

Haven’t changed the side too much so that should stand Surrey in good stead, but there’s precious little action anywhere this morning.

The rain overnight here was torrential.

 

[Gray]

Play abandoned for the day at 12:30pm, bloody good start to the season.

 

[Corky]

It has been non-stop rain for days due to the Icelandic Volcanos, lucky to see any play in M16 over the next 3 days.

The Rose Bowl next week looks rain affected the later the game goes on, 2 draws likely, 1 certain.

 

[KS55]

The most regular result at this time of year:
Rain stopped play.
Why do they have half the championship when it’s wet?

If I remember correctly when I was a lad the cricket season started after the FA Cup Final……..better weather

 

[KS55]

Can I be the first to congratulate Surrey on their title win and commiserations to Hampshire, who finished second.

I reckon Lancs would have had a decent shot at the title had it not been for the weather and Lyon going home in July.

Lancs suffer more rain days than any other team. Serves them right for being in Manchester.

Does it make it much more difficult for them to win a championship?

David Lloyd was on Lancs TV this morning. Said they never turned up for pre-season until April 1st when he played.

Yet a veritable hotbed (a misnomer in Lancashire) of spinners.

Does it make it much more difficult for them to win a championship?

Yes, combined with a belter of a pitch. Make's it very difficult to force a win if any significant time is lost.
