Incompetence of the ICC to hold the 2017 Champions Trophy in England during rainy season?

[Savak]

This is getting riddiculous now, almost all major matches have been washed out . What was the ICC thinking about playing the CT in England at a time like this?

 

[Saj]

There is no such thing as the rainy reason in England

It rains all year round.

To be fair June is normally pretty good for weather.

 

[Khwaja]

Let it rain..

 

[czar]

The forecast for all the matches ahead is fine, wouldn't see any complete wash-outs.

 

[Buffet]

Useless tournament due to so much rain impact on pretty much every game.

Not been the best Champion Trophy

We have the next world cup in England & Wales.

ICC should have taken the forecast into account.

It's a disgrace to see many of the matches been rain affected. Not fair to all the teams.

 

[gibsyhesperis]

It should have been played some time between mid-July and mid-August. June can be variable and it is such a shame rain has been such a significant factor

 

[Hasan123]

Tournament should have been held in at the end of June or mid July.

The rain made the tournament interesting, without rain aus/nz may have qualified and I strongly believe that pakistan would have lost to south africa if the match went the full distance, so praise the rain

What I don't understand is why the CT has been played in England and Wales consecutively. Surely it could have been played else where.

 

[Last Monetarist]

The first few weeks of June have always been notoriously dodgy with inclement weather all across the UK. To be honest, the best time to play this tournament in England would have been at the end of August. Otherwise, I'd have preferred it being played in a place such as South Africa in October like the 2009 event.

i have lived in england for many years and to be honest normally it doesnt rain in summer

this is very odd weather in summer

global warming i guess

 

[Slog]
