You may not know about the Weather Undergound Organisation.
They were a terrorist group from America in the late 60s and early 70s who bombed empty government buildings.
Their name was taken from the Bob Dylan lyric “you don’t need a weather man to tell which way the wind is blowing”.
That is true.
But you do need a weatherman to tell you what the humidity is at a cricket ground thousnads of miles away.
And for that you could use the weather underground website.
Its, sadly, not the same group, but these people know their weather.
They do not believe in ‘Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people!’ (Ok that was the SLA, but the weathermen never had a great catch phrase)
So get over there and find out about weather.
Or get over here and find out about soft core American terrorism.
Shame they don’t log 20:20s (like today’s WIvE)
Hi Jrod,
mine is no weather channel, but anyone tried my weather pages?
The Silly Point – cricket weather
I admit it is all amateurish,
but I also offer you a satelite day/night map with clouds in real time
and if you click on the flags,
it takes you to weather forecast on all cricket test venues by nations. Cool, huh?
I dont need no weatherman to tell me that tonight for the first time at just about half past ten, it’s gonna start raining men.
Nicely done, Ben.
I’ve seen the pages, Chinaman. They are cool :)
One thing I dont get and I think is debated before as well, why do cricket boards not take into consideration the weather, such as hot/humid climate, or Rain for tht matter when planning a series??
Atleast it will save fans the agony and cricket matches from being disrupted and ‘Duckworthed and Lewised’. of course according to this analogy england would never get to host any matches but i dont really care about them to begin with.
How about consulting the effing weather people before scheduling a series??
