No rain stops play
Lunch: Northamptonshire 375 for 8 (96 overs). Boje 101, Panesar 7.
No rain has stopped play. That is, I think one spot of rain fell at deep mid-wicket and, incredibly, the umpires and players left the field in a hurry.
The theory is that it allows the groundstaff to get the covers on in advance of pending rain but that rain has not arrived yet as the players take an early nosebag. Basically the paying punters have been deprived of 20 minutes cricket.
It was entertaining stuff this morning too as the home side batted positively. Won't do any harm for misfiring Warwickshire to get in early and regroup though.

I must learn to deal with this ....
I look at things now
In a different light than I did before
I found the cause
And I think that you could be my cure
And you say
............. we need another wicket !
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get .....................
BETTER :-o
Thank goodness its lunch !
Why, oh why, oh why :-(
Noticed that the number of no-balls has reached 40 at lunchtime (something for the bowling coach to think about). So what are the chances of no-balls notching up a half-century ? And, as a competition subject, how many Warwicks batsmen will outscore no-balls of Northants ?
I'll venture 3 as an opening bid.
2 runs for a noball in the CC ?
So is that 20 noballs = 40 runs
or is that 40 noballs = 80 runs
Not that either are good ........
Things can only get better ;-)
Where are you Brian ? BBC says we are batting at 13 for no wicket.
And anyway what about the Corn Crake?
Simon - The BBC? All I'll say is remember that footage of the Queen "storming out" of that portrait sitting.
And the Blue Peter competition!
