English cricket brings rain to the desert

You really couldn't make it up. The English cricket team are in Abu Dhabi staging camp, where "Sunshine and blue skies are guaranteed almost every day" and where "rainfall is virtually non-existent."

And it rains! Spectaclar. They even had hail stones in nearby Dubai. Only an English cricket team could bring rain to the desert.


Although we can't be sure if this will-they-won't they test series will take place after the terrible events in Mumbai, we can be certain that if England do play, they will play badly. And lose. Massively.
