Available for over a year

An unusual chapter was added to cricket's book of quirks whed two Ranji Trophy matches in Delhi had to be abandoned because of smog. Caused by a combination of Diwali fireworks and farmers burning crop stubble on the plains north of Delhi, it caused players to complain of burning eyes and headaches. The Stumped presenters Alison Mitchell, Charu Sharma and Jim Maxwell discuss other strange ways that cricket has been disrupted. Photo: Bees stop play in Sri Lanka (Getty Images)
