You want to consider average days of rain &gt; 1mm. This is more useful as Australian rain in March is likely more intense, leading to less time actually raining.

There were about four bands of prices, with the lower one being cheap &#8211; tickets for \u00a318 were available, mostly for games involving Afghanistan or Bangladesh. It doesn\u2019t seem that unreasonable. India vs Pakistan was the most oversubscribed sporting event in this country since the 2012 Olympics, making the tickets cheaper just would have made it carnage.\u201d Continue reading&#8230;<br \/>\nVia: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2019\/jun\/13\/india-v-new-zealand-cricket-world-cup-2019-live\" target=\"_blank\">India v New Zealand: rain delay at Cricket World Cup 2019 \u2013 live!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cricket World Cup 2019 updates from Trent BridgeCounty cricket \u2013 live!
