    He's having a really bad second season. If Scotland get knocked out on Sunday, Wheal might be straight back into this side.

    Looking out my window not too far away from the ground, not sure if there's going to be any play left. The sky looks dark and ugly.

    The radar suggests a window of about an hour from 9.30 to 10.30 where play could be possible. Just need to get 5 overs in of Hants batting for a result.

    And we probably wouldn't even need all of those five overs. The five-over winning score would probably be so low that we'd be capable of chasing it within about three overs.

    Very annoying 24 hours. I was backing us to have won both of these games.

    The Glamorgan game was never going to happen. But the forecast for today was fine just yesterday. And we'd have significantly improved our NRR as well the way it was going.

    There's a big danger that Kent will chase 61 off 5 vs Somerset. Which would make our evening worse.

    At least Essex are seemingly heading for a defeat.

    Surrey really messed up that final over to only tie their match. (WTF is Sibley weirdly doing batting at no.7 in a t20 match?)

    A comment on the BBC Sports website, from a BBC weatherman, is that this is the start of the rainy season in the West Indies.
    If that’s the case, other games could suffer as well, throughout the tournament.
    Could they not have played it a month earlier, to avoid the rains?

    Just wait for the rain to come back before there's time to get a game in.

    Why attempt to fit in an 11 over aside game, when those first 11 overs might never count. Just go straight to a 5 over aside game.
