Scratched his head

Still off. This is quite simply bizarre. The light is not great but neither is terrible.

Umpires Trevor Jesty and Peter Hartley are standing near the square, hands in pockets, chatting away while several hundred spectators (one, in a display of madcap north-western humour [think Stan Boardman], wearing a miner's helmet) sit in their seats patiently looking out across an expanse of grass on which cricket should be occurring.

I was thinking this morning that maybe I have gone in a bit hard on the umps in today's Birmingham Mail but no. This is ridiculous.

Hartley has just scratched his head.
