In a test he conditions may vary from day to day surely the conditions aren't the same, Deano agree with you 100% but we need to try and play a second seek or at least turn up and see the conditions which confront you. As long as it is deemed safe it should be game on as along as both captains agree

If i was captain (and for whatever reason did not want to play), and said the ground was unsafe, in this political correct world we live in with litigation and the like there is no way the game would go ahead on the umpires say so.
All i am saying is, let the comp make the decision before play to ensure its fair and makes it as fair as possible.
With reagrds to teams that win in the 1st week roo boy, good on them. If you can force a result in one day it proves your where the much better team on the day and has nothing to do with wet weather. If the 2nd week is washed out for everyone else then tough, teams who win in a day deserve an advantage.
