Wimps

Impact on the pitch is the primary factor. Players injuries come second. Gives undue advantage to team bowling when there is rain

Undue advantage? Isn't that the whole point of the "toss" anyway?

Tennis players are wimps too, can’t handle a bit of water, they even asked for a roof. Entitled brats.

The worst are footballers. When they see rain all they see are opportunities to foul and dive. God forbid they actually try to win a game honourably and actually have the minerals to attack a team and score goals.

Footballers in many European countries, especially the northern countries, play in all weather conditions.
In the UK the top divisions teams have a duty to provide a playable surface for home games, barring extreme or unforseen weather.
Over the years how many times have we seen the groundstaff, volunteers and the supporters clearing snow and mopping up pitches to give the chance of the game being played? Then we find the game was cancelled because of Police advice on the road conditions for travelling fans.
Annoying but acceptable for obvious reasons.
And then there's cricket.
OK, when it rains the worms pop their heads out and have it taken off by a low drive, but they will grow again.
.Nemotode stopped game?

You can’t play cricket in the rain. Pitches take a hell of a lot of preparation and will get dug up if wet, making it unplayable anyway.

Educate yourself before making sharticles.

Nah, the biggest wimps in sport are Snooker players.
The slightest cough and all hell breaks loose.
Jesus, you trained in smoke filled clubs ffs!!

Attacking minded players moaning about repeatedly getting snookered, oh shut up and play ball.

First class grounds can have several strips made available on the square which the groundsman treats as "holy ground" like an army drill sergeant treats the parade ground.
If one strip becomes unplayable just move 5 yards to one side and play on a new strip. Keep the match going, keep the crowds and revenue coming in. Cricket in general is always moaning about lack of revenue - no wonder.

The Article is defamatory provoking others to pass derogatory comments on other sports

Playing Cricket in the rain is similar to Footballers playing on a frozen pitch. The level won't be as good. Also, the pitch will be wrecked.

Have you ever played snooker? It is off putting when there is a lot of noise to be fair, also when you're playing a shot and other people are walking in the line of your sight it gets very hard to focus.
Not many players moan when they are snookered, majority of players acknowledge when the opponent plays a good safety, unless of course they have completely fluked it.

Snooker players also only earn money for entering tournaments and winning matches, unlike footballers who could be injured for a whole year and still get paid ridiculous money for it!
