BucksMan (U12545749) posted Sep 4, 2008 In the context of wet weather, it is always far more likely to rain first in the west (e.g. Cardiff, Swansea, Bristol, Taunton, etc.), as it generally moves eastwards across the country. In this respect, it would be more sensible to schedule matches in Wales at the start of a series, rather that at the conclusion, when the outcome may well depend on the result of the final match... in this case England possibly going second in the ODI ranking!
