[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1159663, member: 74121"] Using that logic I look forward to shutting down any remark you make about another nation. My sources were also data raised in the countries in question. Kiwiwomble was also referencing UK weather yet you do not challenge that. You also provide no data to contribute to the discussion, but thanks for your pithy contrubution, :p I still consider my sources in quoting precise annual rainfall figures for UK and NZ cities to be broadly reliable. Unless you consider there is a giant rainfall calculation misinfromation programme run by Iran to produce information like this. [URL unfurl="true"]https://weatherandclimate.com/new-zealand/otago/dunedin#:~:text=Dunedin%20Climate%20Summary&text=Dunedin%20typically%20receives%20about%2097.27,%25%20of%20the%20time)%20annually.[/URL] Kiwiwombles data was for country versus country, but mine was for cities versus cities. People, by and large, live in cities and therefore a city versus city comparison is more accurate. But it is hard to reconcile the different datasets available online and draw conclusions. That is why I mentioned things like Hihglanders playing under a roof. My point stands, NZ rainfall in cities means it not have sensational weather for outdoor sports which makes success in cricket in particular surprising. Up here in fairly dry Edinburgh it is considered almost too wet for cricket (probably because we are a soft lot and Kiwis are not).
