Here Comes The Rain Again and Again

Barmy Kev reports on very little cricket, then again some might say there is as much cricket material here on his report as a full days play.

Having two previous Uxbridge reporters travelling from Bristol with troubled journeys arriving in good time for their duties. I had a smooth journey from Edgware, but still managed to arrive ½ hour late. In fact had game been at Bristol I would have probably been early.

The first ½ hour is down to Hackneyshire/Dasher Denning updates. “ Came on, went off, attempted to come back on, went off , came back on. 50 partnership for Glaws”. I arrived at ground with rain drops and smoke in air. I saw the 400 up, wicket looks docile, fire engines arrive , but not in curry area. Starts to rain heavily, players off again. Hopefully not for long.

Early lunch,  Playing at Hoval on TV no rain there, raining heavily at Uxbridge.

3 hours later Beefy spots blue sky ahead. Stops raining hour later. Early tea, pitch inspection 4pm ,covers off, then it rains again covers back.    

Stops raining start play 4:30. Back on for 8 balls, 1 run and bad light intervenes. Then more rain , no morecricket

I watched a game of football Middx v Glous, with Hamish Marshall in our side and Fletch in goal. I left with us winning 1-0. We lost 2-1. From my Ceefax view I blame the keeper and Scott Newman

Breakthrough curry night to follow. 

Who says County Cricket in rain is boring?
