A right fuck up at Scarborough - weather okay but no play yet due water getting under the covers overnight.

Watching the Youtube channel there`s 8 groundsman just stood staring at the pitch or their phones

That really is poor.

Down the Oval today for the 50 over game . I would say there about 5000 in attendance, Surrey got a decent team out.

Ground seems to be well populated. Just said on the commentary that this is one of only two games at the Oval for members through August.

Weather today might be OK, but it's rained for nearly 3 days there, and the last game was abandoned without a ball being bowled, so might not get much play.

As Zanvoort said, it is the wicket that got wet, there is no drying activity on the outfield and it has been dry since the early hours.

The covers should have stopped that. I have the seem water from the covers was spilt back on the wicket when removing them, then petrol lit on the wicket to dry it out in the windies.

Two at Guildford, Lanky and Hampshire.

Meant to be a 1.15pm inspection but they have just rolled the covers on 5 mins before?

Abandoned now, both games so far in this comp both in Yorkshire and both NR.

Was in Sedbergh Monday & Tuesday, had ticket for Scarborough but decided to come home yesterday, got a full refund on my ticket and missed nothing, feel sorry for all cricket fans who turned up only to have the game abandoned due to incompetent ground staff..

Lancashire will end up with very few points if this keeps happening to them.

Unfortunately cricket is weather dependent, Lancashire always suffer……

Playing home games in a sparse Yorkshire Dales village on a ground with poor drainage doesn't help.

Bought this to cheer myself up:

The Hundred.

Who was the pillock who thought it would be good to put the runs scored halfway up the left side of the screen and the wickets lost in the bottom right corner. The screen graphics look worse every time I see them.
