Rain in every series / tournament

[Gunner_Mania]

Has there been any tournament or series anywhere in the world in the last 10 or may be even 15 years that has not had atleast a few over lost due to rain interruption - doesn't matter whether it is a test series, ODI, or T20 series. There generally seems to be atleast one game minimum in the series which either has a delayed start or has a few overs lost due to rains.

Can't control the weather

With the draught over the last few years here in australia it barely rains for 10 days a year let alone in summer when cricket is on. Play hasn't been lost to rain here for years.

India-SA ODI series this year:dontknow:

[Jersey #10]

Other sports are easily played and continued in rain but only cricket can't be.

[Serani]

Has there been any series/tournament in England where it has not rained? Seriously doubt it.

Because there is a genuine concern of injury to cricketers whose shoes are not compatible to play on a wet pitch. Moreover, bowling with a wet ball is almost impossible as the ball gets heavy and the seam starts loosening up.

No other playing surface is as sensitive as the pitch in cricket and it can completely change a game if it takes a spell of rain unprotected.
