Perhaps the Indians have been practicing "cloud seeding"


Heard about this, the other day: apparently, the Indian government are considering this, to rain-out the excessive pollution over some Indian cities.

I think the American's gave it a go in the 50s - came to nothing, of course but the Brits attempt gave us an all-time Kate Bush classic: "Cloudbusting."

Play resumed - SA 101-4.

IIRC, some reports did the rounds, that the USSR did cloudseeding after Chernobyl, to rain-out the radioactive particles before they reached Moscow.

South Africa in trouble - 24-4.
India are odds on for the trophy, surely?

Jagger's a big fan of cricket, a member of the MCC, i think. Likes a beer with John Major, apparently. Major's opinion on the Stones has gone unrecorded.

He's been spotted at a couple of the matches

Yes, although i imagine he doesn't get to as many as he'd like, what with the day-job keeping him occupied. He keeps up-to-date with matches on tour. Rock n' Roll rebel my eye.

F1 Las Vegas practice session. Currently delayed after 9 minutes in FP1 because the cars are creating so much suction underneath at speed that they are literally sucking up drain covers at they go over them at 200mph and causing all sorts of major problems to the cars - Ferrari are having to change the chassis on Sainz's car as its been badly damaged.

That's going to cost

Yep, drain covers won't be cheap in Vegas.

It looks like a big plug hole; hardly the hi-tech you'd expect for F1. Do they call for Dyno-Rod?
