Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:43 pmI have a feeling we might not get any play. Not sure what state the ground is in with the weeks of awful weather but forecast suggests more rain tomorrow and on Sunday afternoon. My hunch is that even if it suddenly stops raining we might struggle to get any play.

Looks as if there might be some rain after lunch tomorrow so best case scenario might be a few hours of play!

Any reason why they can't arrange a 3 day friendly between the two starting on Monday?. Warm, fine weather forecast.

That's exactly what I was thinking! Would seem the most sensible thing to do - so no chance of them doing it!

Unless the beeb have made an error it's very odd.

On second thoughts it makes sense ! If they're going to have Richardson as keeper /batsman and leave out Poynter for Markram.
