London Saints eagerly awaited first game of the new cricket season was washed out today. Last minue pitch inspections following heavy ovenight rain led to a statement from the Haberdasher groundsman in Elstree: "Buggar off, you're not ruining my pitch."
The cancellation of the game against Framfab delays the debut of Gavin "The Van" Marle and left skipper DT fretting over disruption too his planned march to triumph this season. Still, back to nets at Paddington on Tuesday to recoup.
