What do you expect when you schedule Test matches in August & September. I believe all 4 so far have been affected by the rain to some degree....2nd Test we virtually only had 3 days play.

And we nearly won the second test. Those 10 overs lost at the start of the last day and the Roy dropped catch an hour before the end really cost us.

Difficult to do anything different with the World Cup in June. In fact that suffered from rain significantly as well.
Without having any official stats to back me up, it does seem to have been a particularly wet summer.

All Test matches should be played South of Watford, it is a proven fact the weather in the SE is hotter and drier.
Agree with Golfie, can’t believe they think it’s a good idea to play cricket in the summer.
Hopefully they follow FIFA’s lead and play the next Ashes over here in December and January.
Keeps consistency too as it’s similar dates as when in Australia.
December / January? In the middle of winter, makes sense... Should do May/ June, although who knows with the English weather in general, they should be able to do something at least. it would be daft if we get draws due to over a days no play.

In which two months would you choose to play Test matches in England, @golfaddick ?

Don't try and baffle Golfie with facts and stats Chizz. He's knows what he thinks is correct and that's all that matters.
