When rain ruins a great game, what's a cricket fan to do?

The English summer has struck again with rain interrupting or ruining some key games this week at the 2019 Men's Cricket World Cup. New Zealand and India were both unbeaten heading into their game and by the end of it they still were as rain washed out any chance of play. Both teams took a point but would certainly have preferred to play the game.
Not all fans felt the same way though. Lotto presenter and super fan Sonia Gray was relieved by the washout as she doubted the Black Caps ability to beat the strong Indian side. Sonia joins hosts Justin Gregory and Zoë George to discuss rainy days, how to get that autograph from your favourite player and the dubious joys of staying awake all night to watch cricket being played on the other side of the world.
