The link between the counties and England have to be changed from how it was, players should be sent back to counties whenever possible. The idea that they should rest at home instead of being available to play is too often unnecessary, just getting away from the squad and hotel life is rest enough in most cases.

If the weather predictions are correct then not many games this coming weekend will be completed if they even get started.

Generous dec. by Sussex, maybe rain is expected.

Very generous

Kent need 54 to beat Surrey and I think some rain is due.

so are Kent, after 1 ball, I hope they find time to get 10 overs or so in later, enough for them to win it.

You don't need rain, you'll survive comfortably.

Possibly. Onions and Harrison have survived 14 overs so far this morning so hopefully our top order should hold them when we bat again. Pitch is still flat.

Pray to god Lancs don't finish second to us this year..... we will be hearing how the rain prevented them from winning again (even when in reality, its probably going to save them again)...

There is now.

[sussexpob]

So it rains all morning session, it stops, the pitch dries, and then the umpires decide everyone needs a sandwich......

Sometimes I hate cricket

[pompeymeowth]

Ups and downs, it's all part of the parcel. Saying that I can't remember the last time rain did Sussex a favour in a CC match.

Maybe not.
