I hope rain doesn't stop play

No lets hope the showers stay out at sea, forecast to be a balmy 15 and clear

Not looking forward to the ridiculous start time, I'll almost certainly miss the first half hour unless I get ridiculously lucky with the trains.

Still once there this does look to be a cracker of a game.

That will be me on Friday, I assume the 18.30 is down to the SKY coverage tonight and thats why we may not fully sell out

No odd he is not named in the provisional squad, perhaps the return of the big guns either pushes him down or they are saving him for Friday v Surrey

Raining in Brighton at the moment but is forecast to be out at sea by three

You've cheered me up. Thought Gayle was not in country till Friday. Rain is clearing and only 3 hours till the first pint of Harvey's in the Cricketers. Looking forward to it.

Well its only useful if you have SKY a Now pass or access to a spam free stream

I hope to be wrapped in a blanket in the Herbalife Stand with a damn fine Pasticci Pizza followed by a damn fine home made ice cream from the same establishment, hopefully Chris Gayle won't target me ice cream

I've seen him do some crazy stuff at the Oval, if he is on form get your hard hats on and be careful if your driving past the county ground tonight

He sets the crowd alight when he starts his car

My missus is taking the youngest son along to it for his first ever game tonight - he's played for Rottingdean the last couple of years after "trying it" one summer as an alternative to football, & fell in love with the game. He cant wait to get there later, so I hope this weather does clear up for it!

Prince Monolulu · Jun 1, 2016

Looks like a bit murky and bit breezy but dry will be the case. On the train soon. :cheers:

Hotchilidog · Jun 1, 2016

Indeed, Sky messing up the cricket now. I would not be surprised to hear that the ground is not that full at kickoff.

Can't make friday so looking forward to this one, shame I shall miss some big hitting at the start.

I am sure we will bat first and block a few overs awaiting your arrival

A bit like the pre the Tour de France arrival - make sure you hoover up all the crap on entry in the South to add to the experience - free hats, clackers, 4-6 cards....
