Because that is as soon as the ground staff think they can get it dry. It was consistent rain until not long ago and the outfield is massive. No point having an inspection booked in for 10:45 if they are not confident that it can be called as playable by the umpires.

Just hope that if it is passed fit at 11AM then there's no fannying around waiting until 11.45 to get out there. 11.20 start at the latest.
Still wet on the outfield. Gives the ground staff time to get it mopped up.
