A video link to the local met office would

sensible words about how the weather is developing and what the
chances of bad light, etc, might be. At present, a first rate set of
commentators let themselves down by repeatedly making asinine remarks
about the weather. Cricket is perhaps affected by weather more than
most sports - light levels, humidity, and so on; but exactly the same
arguments apply to motor racing for example.

Funny you should mention this - I was watching some highlights of Aus vs
Windies at the pub last night (match was abandoned I think) and they showed
the latest radar during the game which indicated a storm coming their way.

Also talking of commentators and weather I noticed a few flakes falling
behind Alan Smith at Birmingham this afternoon...!
