PA problems

County outgrounds often throw up some of the best stories and the current match between Yorkshire and Warwickshire at Scarborough is had its fair share. The PA system has been the main talking point - literally - as the second day crowd was treated to updates from a nearby bowls tournament.

The Times reports: "After broadcasting a conversation between engineers on Wednesday, the PA system was again beset by gremlins. This time spectators were treated to announcements from a bowls tournament nearby. The problem was traced to a strong aerial on the pavilion and the local authority was called in."
