Glad I remembered to put the cat out

The rain has abated and it is planned to resume cricket at 9pm with the contest reduced to 19 overs per side. Scheduled close of play 10.47pm.

There are many reasons why Twenty20 is a vital part of the future of cricket but not THE future of cricket and several of them are on display here.

The crowd is small and the atmosphere subdued.
The theories that T20 is a spectacle that a) you can watch on the way home from the office or b) the kids can watch and be at home nice and early, are fallacious because tonight's scenario happens quite a lot.
It will almost certainly rain again soon, thus disjointing the spectacle further.
The oft-stated argument that T20 cricket is full of genuine cricket skills just does not, pardon the pun, hold water and that statement gets leakier the shorter the game gets.
