According to Bureau of Meterology in Australia, there are predictions of 90% precipitation in Melbourne, which means rains are most likely and if it doesn’t rain, the weather will be mostly cloudy, thus giving advantage to seamers on the Melbourne cricket ground.
The rain forecast hasn’t gone down well with the cricket fans. With the prospect of big ticket clash getting washed out due to rains, fans are taking dig at International Cricket Council (ICC) for the goof-up and ‘poor planning’.
A lot many fans have taken to Twitter to slam the ICC by posting caustic jibes and memes over potential washout.
