I was thinking, with modern technology we know the weather forecast way in advance. If Cricket has to survive the global change in weather, it needs top move matches on the spot. Since a week we knew it was going to rain out, why cant we move the match out?
What about the fans? Broadcasters (don't care about them as much)? Players? Travel, hotel, security etc. How far out do you make the decision? England v Australia match at Old Trafford it looked for all money like there would be some play on days 4 or 5 up until those days. And there was none.

I believe grounds would also have insurance to cover losses incurred because of weather. If someone just decides to move the match - you sell out Ahmedabad with 130k, and then move it to a smaller ground - I doubt that would necessary be covered by their insurers.

They could have reserve days but the ICC don't fork out for anymore than your 15 players, so I doubt they would cover the cost that would be incurred by having them let alone moving a game.
 
Excuses as an Indian after losing semis is ready boys:

If we lose to NZ in semis : We lose against them everytime so what's new. :D

If we lose to to Pakistan in semis : Yeah Qudarat ka Nizam is real. :lol

Choke is definitely coming in the knockout if not that would be great but highly unlikely.

I believe the aggrieved boards should have made a case to the ICC.

While the pointers that have been mentioned are valid, for rain affected games, fans wouldn't be so disheartened. Other logistics can be taken care if- I know that private airlines have been used to ferry players around.

Another clause the fans need to look at is travel insurance. Most of the traveling circus doesn't get this done. In the event the game is shifted, they can claim back the lost amount, if and only if they have travel insurance.
