and with drinks being taken the players decide the rain is too
heavy
Stumps - Day 1, Bad Light
now the umpires come out again
now it's raining so more covers going on, almost certainly ending
the only very very very very tiniest really little bit of hope of
anymore play tonight
Match State: Stumps - Day 1
the rain that as pelting down this morning and overnight stopped
around 8am and the sun came out about 20 minutes later, producing
drying humidity that means we are able to get away on time
although the sun is out c urrently there are still wads of mildly
dark cloud floating around in a threatening posture
It's hard to say wether we will get a full days play in but it
looks like there should be almost a full days play
A lot also depends on the light at the end of the day and that is
perhaps more questionable than wether the rain will prevent play

talk of light and off they go
and it's time for heat 2 of the handicap
no worries about light for them, lets which of the women has the
200 metre head start today
out to 64 metres goes the lazy handicap, she's the one for mine
ansett australia logos everywhere sponsoring the sprint
CI's expert report tips the man fourth in the handicap,
Your scorer tips the lazy handicap at the end
and they go down
and racing.....
still the least handicapped leads... and leads
the 4 place man shows he's a better crikcet report than runner
judge as the 4th place man goes backwards, and so do the women,
one of the backmarkers takes this one
Anthony McQuinn from Essendon apparently
covers coming out now
now it starts to rain
it is now absolutely hissing down, there is thunder and lightening,

80% of the ground is under water now
and it's gushy down from the stands
and still a fair few people hanging around with flashing indicating
the odd photo of the ground
