Why o why

For the past few months its been raining cats n dogs in Chennai...All possible depressions in the Indian ocean, and Bay of Bengal are affecting Chennai...Everyone are aware of it...still why is Chennai a venue for an international Cricket test match?...The organizers say that the groundsmen are working hard on maintaining the pitch blah blah blah...why so much effort is put on something worthless as this?...News channels nowadays are at cut throat competition with each other, and they have a separate segment between advertisements (of course) for Cricket and anything related to it. They proudly announce that the day has been washed out due to rains, or due to the advent of a cyclone...A dozen talk shows are held regarding the form of each and every player in the team and out of the team...Former cricketers come and talk their hearts out regarding strategies and expert comments and what not...Not one of them have I heard ask this question as to why venues are chosen without considering the weather condition out there.If it is that venues are decided at the beginning of the calendar year, why cant it be modified according to the weather conditions, a few weeks before?..
I try not to believe that Cricket in India is a money making racket, but I am forced to do so....
