Today's Manchester Weather

[El Presidente]

Hammering it down with rain

 

[Da Man Clay]

Lovely!

 

[Bad Ash]

Same for Cheltenham.

 

[John Boy]

wanted Lancashire to SUFFER in the field for a bit longer

Oh well

 

[Timbo]

A couple of quotes from the LCC forum:

The rain is still lashing down and having looked at the web cam,the ground is under water.Still ,we can't claim that the weather has cost us the title-the groundsman has done that with another crap wicket!


As I wake up at 7am in North Manchester and look outside my window, I have one thing to say, "Congratulations Sussex on winning the title" .

At this stage of the season with weather a mute point all games should be played on the same day not the challengers playing a week apart.

It would not have mattered if we had Durham 250 all out yesterday as Rain plus Rain means no play

 

[Gazwag]

Fingers crossed no play today and Durham declare first thing tomorrow then that 2 points dropped for Lancs to start with.

The outfield looks a tad damp. Shame that.

May see a few ducks there today then.

You're right Joey. There is just a suggestion that there may be some moisture there.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

It doesn't look like its raining anymore and the outfield looks to be drying a bit, although looking at the webcam there still appears to be some heavy patches of water laying on the surface.

 

[Chicken Run]

They will be chirping away on TMS

 

[bhafc99]

"No play before lunch."

Lovely little phrase that.

 

[El Presidente]

It has stopped raining, but clouds are still very visible

 

[Moshe Gariani]

looks like a nice day for weather watching and Lanky baiting

not being a betting man (That particular avenue of pleasure has been closed off. And we don't want it opened up again, do we Moshe? ...) I wouldn't know - but how have the odds been for the Championship? I would guess that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, Lanky have always been favourites but that must be evening up/tilting now...?

You're obviously not a betting man!

Sussex are 1/10 on Betfair currently, and the most you could get on at that price is £200 right now.

 

[Trigger]

Betfair...

Sussex 1/9
Lancashire 28/11

 

[Papa Lazarou]

By the looks of the Met Office rainfall animation, they might get another batch (that's a meteorological term) of heavy rain in a couple of hours.

:bruised ego stirring: I don't think 1/10 is a serious price surely... have you taken it?

I'm not going to look at Betfair but if Sussex are 1.10 and Lanky something like 3.40 then the "true odds" lie somewhere between... what do the bookies have?
