The ICC Champions Trophy in late September has been moved from Sri Lanka to South Africa, because “Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) were unable to provide a guarantee during a teleconference on Wednesday that there would be no rains in Colombo during the tournament”

What a crock of shíte! Surely this rain is not a new phenomena, perhaps even something they could have considered before awarding the series to Sri Lanka in the first place?

Presumably Cricket South Africa have guaranteed a mid spring dry spell, and have their best witchdoctor slaying the finest vírgins to ensure no rains eventuate.

Can’t they just say it’s cause of terrorists? No-one wants to get shot so they’ve moved it and blamed it on the weather. There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?

    Why don’t they shift it to China? The Chinese govt had planes ready to fire some chemical at rain-causing clouds and disperse them so that it does not affect Beijing Olympics..:)

    First South Africa gets the IPL ahead of the UK due to the weather now the ICC Champions trophy.

    Soon they will be suggesting they play all televised tournaments in countries where they can guarantee sunshine!

    What a joke! Wet conditions are just as much a part of the game.
