    They can't cancel the game because of rain. It'll do the pitch good if nothing else.

    Of course they can, if their Groundsman declares the ground unfit it would be cancelled, however, this will not happen as most pitches are bone dry & natural watering will do it no harm.

    A few mms of rain will not be a problem. A few inches of rain will probably be a problem. A few metres of rain will be a major problem.

    It's a nightmare ground for getting water logged.

    That said, it's not exactly a deluge at the minute

    A bit of mud will do well for the complexion as for the grass they can smoke it or ignore him depending on how you look at it ....
