is this where it rains continuously for 2 days?

tbf, they are doing that. We have 2 new openers for 2019, which will allow Cam Steel to drop back to 3, where he had a fair bit of joy last year. Clark at 4, and suddenly the top order looks decent.

we are only allowed to have use the lights on a certain number of days a year, IIRC. Council decided that, I think, so perhaps something similar is in place for Glammy.
Alternatively it might be one of those 'has to be the same for both sides' things. We didn't have to bat under lights so neither do they
perhaps they ran out of pink balls?
could be anything. I always get the impression that, in cricket, everybody just makes everything up as they go along

and we still don't know anything about Jack Burnham, will he still be around, has he had/is he going to have his contract terminated.
Smudger still around, of course.... and never write Colly off... even if he is out of the runs atm, he is still a top notch capt. He might be a bigger miss than people thing when he does go.
Harte getting his chance this year... that might have legs
The allrounder slot is still wide open as well.... Trevaskis perhaps? or Mark Wood (shock, horror)

the Weighell has 185 runs in 5 knocks
get everyone fit and firing for next year and we could have plenty of runs in us right down to 9
