The next shot has Sid devouring the ducks...

 

[Titanic]

14:20 oh dear, the water is spreading rapidly.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

You're not wrong - it's going to be tricky playing anything on the offside for a while yet. (for a RH bat, facing at the far end that is).

14.25. Durham's G.Onions comes out to inspect the pitch, and is tragically swept out to sea.

[Scoffers]

no play thursday due to rain

 

[The Large One]

Bosh! Looks a bit miserable there. Shame.

Saw the weather forecast on News24 just now. Doesn't look like the same luck tomorrow - looks as though it might be quite clear.

 

[Mr Blobby]

They will have to rename the place "Old Trafford Public Swimming Pool" at this rate!

 

[McShane79]

Looks a bit damp out there!!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It really is a crying shame isn't it?


Even more of a shame is the back page of today's Southampton Daily Echo. "Double Pain for Shane". Hampshires Pro40 promotion hopes were blown by there match last night getting rain ruined. Play did go on long enough, however for poor little Shaney to be led from the field with blood dripping from his head after edging a bouncer through gap above his visor. Bless.

Sorry I've no scanner, or I would share the pictures with you!

 

[Moshe Gariani]

getting worse....

hopefully won't be any more of these distressing scenes though...

[CHAPPERS]

Warne's injury looked horrible. He top edged a bouncer into the gap in his visor. Could have been much worse that it was.
