Re: English Cricket
Oh dear Skys coverage/cameras have gone pear shaped.
So has England's batting and the weather.
The weather had better improve on the South coast next week

You can always rely on the British weather to have its say as 2 overs in and they are off again.

Re: English Cricket
Test match cricket is as bad as footy without the crowds. The eerie silence as the ball goes to the boundary ( not often in this match so far ) is strange. That said I don’t miss the Barmy Army yobs.

Silence ? No difference to the last county game I went to...
But yes, the fancy dressed pissed mob, who have no interest in the cricket aren't missed.

Re: English Cricket
There was a polite ripple of applause at the last country game I went to at Old Trafford, at least a 1000 bodies in the ground.
