One all-weather cricket venue in the country would just be shit.
Part of the "fun" of cricket is the fact that many things are entirely subjective (umpire decisions) or beyond human control (weather). This is all part of the appeal and it happens to both sides.
Things like:
England winning the Ashes in 2005 due to Kasprowicz being given out caught even though his glove wasn't in contact with the bat when the ball hit it
Broad not walking after the thick edge and Aus having wasted their reviews
...
It's part of the game and I don't want it to go away.
Kids who grow up playing cricket are used to it given the standard of the amateur umpires that officiate in their games. Hopefully they respect the decision and trudge off to get grumpy with their parents/team-mates knowing that they'll probably benefit from a poor decision later on in the game or in another one soon. League deciding games that are abandoned due to freak rain showers in late July, etc.
