Apparently it's dry at Canterbury. Ain't holding my breath for play, but even if it does go ahead, we'll have played both games against Kent before April is out. Mental.

seems a weird game at Headingley - I thought it was covered with snow on the first day ?

extraordinary scoring as well ?

It snowed the day before, but it didn't hang around. Strange old game though with a number 9 making a ton for Kent.

Mitchell Starc had better not be like that other Australian left-armer called Mitchell. We're going to need him to fire from the off to make up for the failings of the batters. 142/5

And in the IPL, Deccan are so desperate for a win that they've.... err.... dropped Dale Steyn. In favour of Rusty Theron. No, me neither.

Dale Steyn looks quality and will do the english batsmen some damage in the test series - definitely nippy ! Like his action too

Metaphorically speaking, obviously.
