An Uncovered Truth?

So, the first match of the women's championship (Royal London Women's One Day...) For Middlesex vs Berkshire at Edmonton gets rained off because the pitch is flooded as the covers have leaked. By covers I mean a couple of tarpaulins as the real covers had been vandalised a few months before, which begs the question as to why elite women's sport (one level below international) is being played at a venue that doesn't have adequate drainage facilities given this is England... In May... Anyway, move on to Lord's again (no such drainage issues there) for more Middlesex vs Durham.
