Sun stops play

Kent v Essex

Not a cloud in the sky but the sun dropped and there was a 15 min delay

So, despite your claim, it was actually 'lack of sun' that stopped play.

Blazing sun in the batsman's eye.

They turned the square at Canterbury so it had not happened before.

I can remember dickie bird taking the teams off at old Trafford in a test as the sun was reflecting off some greenhouses outside the ground

Always used to happen at Derby

 

[Greavsie]

In local cricket, I recall Durham City being a bugger for this

 

[leecoo]

used to happen at hetton lyons as well, back when there used to be a different cup game every night it was a nightmare

Once played a league game at Blaydon when they had the allotment at the side of the ground - right behind the wicket.

Sun was shining on the greenhouses in there and was reflecting - no one could see.

Result- sunned off.

Aye, Blaydon was a bugger and remember a game being sunned off as well.
