I'm not particularly bothered either way because I'm not emotionally invested enough in test cricket as it is to care whether it's day or day-night.
What's your issues with day-night test cricket? Everyone seems to be praising it at the moment. |
Hi Jez, my issues... hmmm... well I guess I'm a traditionalist in regards to test cricket being played in daylight, from 10.00am through to 6.00pm.
Hard to say what the variables are in this guinea pig test... not sure if they've been dissected in the media post match yet...
We've had a scenario where it would seem that the ball gave the bowling team an unfair advantage going into the final session in twilight.
And this has happened for three consecutive days, so very unlikely to be brushed off as coincidence. The physics need to be addressed.
Having said that, I'm not sure if this is due to the wicket, moisture in the air, or the leather used on the pink ball, or it's shape, or all of the above.
Now I would have thought that the day/night concept was designed to draw more people to the venues, and impact the TV ratings.
All we have seen to date, is a compromised final session of play for the third consecutive day, resulting in a match concluded in three days.
I doubt that's what anybody really wanted nor expected.
Actually that's the kind of result we'd expect to get at the WACA, which is traditionally a bowlers wicket, not the lump of shit they served up for that God-awful second test, which must have bored MJ into retirement.

Did he mumble his way through the script, and ultimately try to hock some Fujitsu air conditioners off to the players?

Around the time of Kezza's World Series Cricket, one of the comedy shows did a sketch on the whole commerciallisation of the game. Very funny.
Eg. "It's a bumper from Lillie and Richards hooks. Ooo, it's a top edge and Tangles is getting under it. Oh, no! It's through his hands and hit him in the groin!"
Tangles gets up. All expect a painful expression on his face. But, no. He's smiling. Reaches into his pants and brings out his latest book, "How To Bbq Wombats". Holds it up for the cameras.

Any sign of it on you-tube mate?
I'm presume no, as it may have been broadcast a year or two prior to Beta&VHS hitting the market in Australia?
I do love the Paul Hogan "World Series War" skit though; sheer GOLD!

Cracks out the mandolin, and plays a blistering little ditty.
Or was that his stunt-double? LOL.
