great idea to hold the 20/20 and some 50/50 games in early autumn in the north and midlands .. warm coats, thermal underwear, hats and gloves are required .. and that's just for the players .. what's happened to the idea that the one dayers should be played in late spring/early summer ? .. and a tri series between England, South Africa and the West Indies would have been a major attraction

Temp forecast (according to BBC) for today in Manchester is 15 degs. Forecast for Margate is (ok ,they don't play cricket internationals there).......... 15 degs.
Fortunately the weather forecast for the next week seems a bit better, dryer and slightly warmer, the first half of September has been rubbish this year!

So, its not always warmer in the south.
are you not aware that there is a delayed start in 'sunny' Manchester ? .. the odds are always going to be that it's warmer in the south than in the north/midlands .. at any rate, my main point is that this is far too late to be starting an international series of one day games, either north south, east or west

It was done tongue-in-cheek, Margate was the only Southern town that i could find that had a temp the same as Manc. My point is , September , especially in the last decade has nearly always been a good month weather-wise - i'm sure if someone had the time to do the stats they could concur with that statement - and tbh Manchester at any time of the year is going to be dodge whether (no pun) it be July or September. My understanding is that the weather is/was fine this morning, it was just outfield conditions? I checked out the weather forecast for the rest of this series, and it looks like Bristol is the only one that might be hit - I class Bristol as in the south, don't you? I don't have a problem with a series starting this 'late' , maybe lets gauge it at the end of the series?
