How about diverting the water into the sewerage system. Alternative do nothing and have days like these.

Same here, been out brushing excess water where it's puddled up as our garden on a bit of a slope.
But with the forecast as it was they could have had the outfield covered following on from the Uni game last weekend.
Seems to be a reluctance to do it in the UK, even though they cover the entire outfield in Sri Lanka/Bangladesh.
Surely the cost of having such covers outweighs the cancellations when the rainy weather comes throughout the season.

Why couldn’t they decide this at10 30 and drag the matter on
On the prospect of the weather being good for.the rest of the day I know
Folk who have paid for a full days parking which was totally wasted

Heavy rain forecast from 3am -7am Saturday morning - could be a repeat performance.

Could be washed out on all four days looking at the forecast.

We are just back in. Watching North and Campbell during the last pitch inspection they spent a lot of time looking at the bowlers run ups. Wonder if that was where the issue was.

If it was only the bowler's run ups, how about putting down some pieces of artificial turf over the top, if they won't make any effort tp protect the surface in the days before the match.
They seem to find loads of reasons why things can't be done or just can't be arsed. I wonder what will be done in the week running up to the ODI v Australia if rain is forecast.
Doesn't look good for tomorrow too, if more rain tonight

It doesn’t feel like cricket has still mastered this. Surely must be more you can do

A wet winter. Really? After maybe two months of it being wet, could you not have taken some action to prevent more rain being absorbed? It's just not good enough.
Have you not seen the state of the rain recently haha. They're groundsmen, not magicians.
Starting to rain here, so heading that way
"The ground is at saturation point"-that means the ground can't absorb any more water.

Vic said the ground is at saturation point. Surely the club should communicate this in advance
