Remnants vs. Education Nomads

Tuesday, May 21, 2003
Fitzwilliam College

Match cancelled.

This is getting ridiculous. Three out of eight fixtures cancelled due to rain after the driest spring months in many a year. Why did the rain and the cricket season start simultaneously? Why does god hate northern hemisphere cricketers?

Think I'm being fatalistic? Think again -- below are the daily rainfall statistics for February, March, April and (the start of) May 2003. Suffice to say that our cricket season started on April 29 -- in other words there was rain on just six of the ninety-odd days preceding the season but on nine of the twenty three days since the season began. I can't be bothered doing a proper statistical analysis of these data, but it certainly doesn't seem at all reasonable to me.
