Rigor on the Ashes

Mark Richardson, a little prematurely perhaps, starts to celebrate the fall of the "evil overlords" of cricket in the Herald on Sunday. While the Aussies are not quite buried yet, the BBC at least is taking an optimistic view - with the "Weather outlook good for England" and a forecast of more rain headlining its cricket pages. Incidently, the BBC sports section might like to check its own weather pages a little more closely - the 24 hour forecast actually being pretty good for the hours of play and the long-term forecast is even better.
