IT may be the hottest day of the year, but it has come too late to save Oxfordshire's friendly with Buckinghamshire.
You would think it is perfect conditions for cricket, with temperatures set to hit 24C this afternoon.
But the miserable weather during the early part of this month has forced the cancellation of Oxon's fixture with Bucks on Saturday.
The recent downpours have meant no suitable ground was available in either county to host the game.
