Bucknor and his Light Meter

Apologies for the lack of posting yesterday - I was actually at the cricket, so opportunities were limited. I will have to figure out this mobile blogging lark.

Very frustrating day it was, too. I can tell you as a matter of fact that the light wasn't that bad, although it fluctuated quite a bit over every five minute period because of variations in the cloud cover. Steve Bucknor in particular had his light meter out every two minutes, and was intent on offering the light at any opportunity.

All I can say is - if light like that is not good enough for play, then we shouldn't be staging Tests in May.

And if that argument needs any more back-up, today's 8.5 over washout does the job admirably. But if we didn't stage Tests in May, then were would we fit in all those fascinating one day internationals......yes, quite.
