Cricket fans have been left furious after the hover cover broke down on the outfield in Cardiff on day one of the new County Championship season.
After only getting four balls of action before rain forced play to be stopped in the clash between Glamorgan and Gloucestershire, ground staff rushed on with the covers. However, there was a "mechanical problem" with the main hover cover just as they were about to cover the playing strip.
As a result, they struggled to get cover in place as the rain hammered down on the outfield. "It's not looking as though it's moving as freely as it should do that cover," one of the commentators for BBC Radio Wales noted.
