Uckfield
Inspection at 12:00. 🌧️
What's it like on the coast? Uckfield is getting dumped on currently, and it looks like it's not going anywhere fast.

Edit: OK, checked the radar. The weather is sinking south from the north, so the heavy rain I'm getting now is going towards the ground. IMO no chance of play today looking at the radar, this band of rain will put paid to that idea of an inspection at noon.

Yep. We'll be in the deluge soon.

It's mindblowing to be the Country Championship is still being played. We're balls deep into Autumn

TBF, we've had years where the weather at the end of Sep/ beginning of Oct has been gorgeous
I mean, you get the odd nice day in January. Should we play it all through the winter? Just think, we could get another tournament in where just the sides with test playing grounds bowl 50 balls at each over and everything is called something different

March to May is the driest period of the year. You need ten jumpers out there mind. September is generally drier than August in the UK- as is February.

Aha, I spot a cunning plan to move the 100 to Feb and sept. Gets my vote.
What a good idea !

Only needs four weeks. So February is best. I'd probably watch it then. Saturday evening fun. Maybe we could get Ant and Dec to present it. Graham Norton on commentary as fielders run around dressed as bags of crisps. A reincarnated Eddie Waring as the umpire.

The fact that Yorkshire are only 20 points behind us having won three fewer games tells me that the points system isn’t right. i think too many points being available for a draw is the issue.

We should be out of sight.

Finally underway at Hove. Sussex won the toss and elected to field. Unchanged team from the win at Bristol.
Sussex just making sure of the draw. I mean, you'd want the oppo to bat first if you were holding to a flicker of hope.
