Rain and wickets

Not a lot of cricket is happening in New Zealand at the moment, and when the clouds do break all that happens is that a lot of wickets fall. I seem to remember whole summers like this when I was younger.

Oh well, at least we have matches in Ahmedabad and Perth to keep us occupied. And what about the news that Pakistani pace man Shabbir Ahmed has been banned for a year for persistent chucking. Good grief! That might ruffle a few feathers. Not least amongst commentators who complain that the new chucking laws are too weak.
