With that, I’ll sign off. Such a shame but that’s cricket, eh? Anyone who has played this daft sport at any level knows the anguish of watching wet grass remain wet no matter how much you wish it would dry.

That’s the end of Canada’s tournament but India go marching on.

Paul Dreyer is our man on the ground:

Daniel,

I’m slightly melting in the stands waiting for water on the pitch to evaporate into an atmosphere that is (checks weather) 80% water at the moment.

Just down the road is the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop that is basically the car boot sale of the damned. It also just happens to have a museum of the luxury car collection of the former owner. $3 parking unless you mention you’re there for the cricket at which point it magically jumps to $20. In case there’s no cricket to be had and people need something to pass the time, now you know!

I’m a little salty the ICC called the ground near my hometown unfit for purpose. Sunny and 29C today. Off to shop!

Happy shopping Paul.
