We have been waiting 593 years for a total eclipse in Reykjavík and it is due to rain on Wednesday. What this means is that eclipses are probably not worth waiting for. We can all think of a few cricketing analogies to that.

Several parts of The Odyssey (2026) were shot here in Iceland, utilising our dramatic volcanic terrains and black sands to portray the mythical Underworld and desolate shores. That's also where we send failed cricket captains.

Next week, we will have an extra 80,000 or so people in Iceland for the total solar eclipse. That is a 20% uplift on our national population. We can already confirm it will rain.

When we play the MCC from 14-16 August, the matches will be played at Tungubakkavöllur, Mosfellsbær. If the MCC beat us, we will ask their squad to pronounce the venue, and if they do not do a satisfactory job, we will declare 'a moral victory'. We will judge them fairly.
