What is important is not the general weather but the weather on Test days. Someone has counted up the number of days washed out in Tests up to 2004. https://community.netweather.tv/topic/16950-number-of-days-washed-out-for-test-matches-in-engl/ Old Trafford: 29 days washed out. Headingley: 12 days washed out. Pretty conclusive though someone might like to do further research to see if the same trend continued after 2004.

Sams at least will be at finals day. If McDermott is still injured could Hants rope in another overseas player? Any batter/wk available?

Hants got 3 bowling points and Somerset 4 batting points. The cutoff is 110 overs.

Two 19 yr olds as well.

In the squad for the championship match tomorrow. Really hope he doesn't play. Save him for the finals.

His team has offered him the chance to ride in the tdf next year.

Good to see US taking moral high ground by sending cluster bombs to Ukraine.

Turner was first pick but goes to the Rockets. A blow to Hants for the One Day Cup.
