[J10]

[Jezzer]

So play abandoned for the day, pubs will be busy in Birmingham this afternoon. Blooming rain!

[snowray]

No play today then. My mate who's up there just called me to say that its still raining and everything is waterlogged, his friend who is in a wheelchair cant even use the lifts into the ground because they are aparently flooded.

Why would the weather station be LBA, its way higher than Headingley, far enough to have different weather

[J10]

The 3rd test results are in and it a bit of a turnaround with Andy Bown winning this test, with davehsug 2nd and Mark H 3rd.

In the overall comps, Daveshug leads all comps, with Koppite joint laeaer on the temps comp.

In the average comps, players who only entered the first test lead, but will need to enter the remianing tests to remain in the hunt.

Is there a nearer "official" status station, I'm certainly open to thoughts.
