Despite the floodlights being switched on, the umpires have decided
its too dark to continue play
So off the field they go
It's a farcicial situation really, once again the umpires going
strictly by the light meters rather than administering common
sense
The amount of light that the floodlights provide is perfectly fit
for play
The suspension in play is nothing but an insult to all the
spectators - however few of them there are - who paid to see
today's play
There are covers out in the middle of the ground in anticipation of
rain
But that rain still looks some way off
The covers are now going on the pitch
Rain is imminent by the look of things
That rain never came
But that's it anyway, it's stumps, despite the availabilty of
floodlights and the absense of rain, we're done for the day
Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Play starting half an hour early today
Mahwire to complete his over from last night - can make it a
maiden?
