Brisbane 5
Sydney 7
That will rank Sydney at Number 2 in the world behind Colombo as having the most abandoned games
Can we get stats on how many games have been played/scheduled at each ground?
At a guess I would say Sydney get minimum 3 per summer ( including at least one final ) and Adelaide the one per summer, yes?
That is true but its usually Melbourne who cops the bad weather tag, id guess Melbourne would hold similar ammounts to Sydney.
No surprise Brisbane is up there though

Woakes does though have a very good first class bowling record, so perhaps they think that ability will eventually translate but right now, Jordan seems the better one day bowling option.

It also highlights the omission of Ben Stokes from their World Cup squad. As a bowler he can be expensive but he offers a fair bit with his batting. That innings he played for Melbourne Renegades against Hobart Hurricanes a few weeks back contained some beautiful ball striking. Also despite his modest recent form overseas he's a proven performer in Australia. He was England's only century maker in the Ashes last summer. Horses for courses!
