Lessons In Geography...

are obviously lost on the wonderful bunch of so-called administrators at the BCCI. Even your average fifth-grader could have told you that the North-Easterly winds which blow over the south of India this season of the year cause rains as they pick up moisture over the Bay of Bengal. Even though this isn’t as stupid as having a match in Mumbai in August, it comes close. After losing the final day of an exciting test against Australia (maybe the Final Frontier wouldn’t have fallen…sigh), and an ODI (which would have decided the series either way), it is time for another match in a nice ground to go (literally) down the drain. When will they learn…

I never even thought of that! Good catch! However, weather prediction is not really a science..

It isn't the first time this has happened. This is the third match in succession in Chennai that has rained out. Yes, weather prediction isn't an exact science, but playing matches in a city during its monsoon doesn't quite make sense, does it?
