Whilst it would be great to be bowling at them in humidity and cloud cover, it’s not the worst thing for the bowlers to get a days rest. 
 

tomorrow and Monday will provide enough time for a result but we really don’t want to be chasing more than 250 

Yep.

[Guest Manini]

Finally stopped raining. If no more I reckon they’ll be on for 1:15ish - @Lako42think you’ll deffo see some cricket tomorrow

That's BBC weather which is usually a work of fiction cooked up in the Netherlands.

 

Met office looks better.

Hilariously the met office gives me a different forecast

 

 

The BBC get weather info for their app/website from the Met Office apparently so go figure 

[Guest Manini]

Starting to think they won’t play today. Just won’t stop raining.

On 6 February 2018 BBC Weather changed supplier from the government Met Office to MeteoGroup, after being required to put its weather services out to tender. Some have claimed there has been a reduction in accuracy of BBC forecasts as a result.

Its why the BBC weather app is shite and never right since they sold to the highest bidder

It really winds me up. We are the best at weather anywhere, why sub it out to a foreign company is just plain stupid.

Just assume its going to rain, you'll be right most of the time.

Tbf, we get a lot of practice 

 

apparently it’s about value for money …….  We (the public) demand it.  ITV tv weather is met office and tbh, what it’s doing tomorrow (which is what most people want to know ) is likely to be the same wherever you get your forecast from. It’s the micro level (as we see today with unpredictable variations across small areas ) which leads to problems and is pretty much ‘un forecastsble ‘ that leads to mistrust from the masses. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Bouncers in these conditions??

 

Never mind off again for rain

[leicsmac]

Marsh gone early, that's step 1 done.

 

Now for steps 2,3,4 up to about 521684613 in order to win this match.

[Izzy]

This could get really interesting

[EastAnglianFox]

Fancy Starc to start swinging

[Super_horns]

Aussies probably wishing it had kept raining !

[Guest Lako42]

Well this has setup beautifully for tomorrow 

 

 

Cant wait 

[kingkisnorbo]

Be a travesty if we can't chase this down. 

[EastAnglianFox]

It's mad, I want to bowl them out asap but at the same time an hour of Cummins and Starc at our openers tonight makes me feel ill 

[Staff]

Wouldn't bother with Robinson again

[st albans fox]

We need to keep bowling short down the leg side with a field set to keep the runs down and keep them batting till last twenty mins when we go for it !

Anyway - I wanted 200/225 max so that would mean we surely end up batting this evening

I think he’s dropped for fitness reasons anyway 

[Staff]

As already been said don't fancy us to score more than 250 

[Izzy]

Feels like every run they score here is worth double.

[Corky]

This partnership could be concerning.

[Izzy]

Head's pissing me off now. Get the fvcker out quickly please.
