Day and Night Tests? What the $#%&

"I wish people would leave Test cricket alone and keep their tinkering to the limited-overs game. What they need to do, if they think they aren't getting enough crowds, is to play less of the damn thing so that when a Test series comes around, people will want to see it instead of saying, 'Just another Test'."...Michael Holding as quoted by Sambit Bal, Courtesy Cricinfo.


Attaboy Mikey. Guess it takes a fast bowler to "bang" in some sense when administrators decide to tamper with the fairer version of the game.

Isn't women's cricket the fairer version of the game?

BTW have never understood why women are the fairer sex.....I mean as far as my biological knowledge goes sex does not determine either skin colour or the ethics of a person...

enna thappu?

It very irritating to see stoppages in play owing to 'sissy' reasons like light drizzles, "bad light"(!!).
If lights need to be used to extend play in such circumstances, so be it!

Bala, no problem if light is used to make up for lost time.as is done sometimes..
But full day and night stuff means the game becomes more uneven...especially in regions where dew becomes a factor.........
