It's like they are still stuck in old age because it is a gentlemen game. Stupidity. What are the chances, just as they are to bowl the first ball, rain again comes and tada that's it.This is just moronic. Rain stopped over an hour ago, still nowhere near starting. Why don't they have covers that cover the entire ground? If/when the ground is deemed fit they'll waste a further 30 minutes on the toss and anthems.
There's nothing you can do about the weather in outdoor sports but I don't get why international cricket can't take measures and be a bit proactive when it comes to rain. Wet outfields can easily be avoided.
