On the other hand, places with lots of sea brezes and sunshine - like Perth - do.

Do you have counter-examples ?

Or are you going to continue, like Canute, to rail against natural causes and whine that someone should Do Something.
In one of my previous posts, I wrote that I don't want WACA. But it has to be at least a moderate wicket to be used in the domestic level.

Any way, I am giving up now. I have been enjoying this so far as a good constructive discussion. But your last few lines don't encourage me to continue.

Thanks.
