No, he said "something England is known for (rainfall) ". No mention of cricket days lost.

My fact is a direct response to that.
Correct the country England is known for its rainfall. England has a higher average rainfall than Australia FACT. You lost once again as always.
Awaits the predictable response as you can not resist nor let anything go as it would eat away at you. Any reply is a win to me as usual lol

Interesting that something England is know for (rainfall) is the one thing that stopped them from yet another embarrassing loss. I guess 4-0 for the series will be good enough lol
Opinion
Sydney has higher rainfall than London.
ahhhhhh that ol' chestnut.....Hawksey thinking he has a new audience to talk his Barossa Pearl to...
cant find any data post 2000 but here are the total days lost due to rain 1880-2000
England: 85
New Zealand: 41
Australia:36
West Indies: 28
India:25
Pakistan: 23
South Africa: 18
Sri Lanka: 14
Zimabawe: 4
These stats have no meaning without knowing number of tests played. For example
Washed out Test days since 1877: Sydney 25, England 85 (you say)
112 tests at SCG & 25 days rained out = a day lost every 4.5 tests
1044 tests in England & 85 days rained out = a day lost every 12 tests
Regarding cricket at least, Sydney is wetter than England

England remain undefeated in 2022
Not for long im betting. They will need to pull out something big to get a win in Hobart. Part of me hopes you do at least get close cause then the whinging about the weather, umpires, celebrating mediocrity etc might stop lol. You'd be hoping Stokes will be fit enough to play otherwise you guys definitely have no chance.

but how many days lost in both cities????????????
I don't have that stat to hand. London possibly more because London has two test venues. However it is my understanding (but I cannot find the proof) that Sydney has lost more days than Lords or the Oval.
