Nope.

Test Cricket with a pink ball is rubbish.

The last 2 have been particularly poor for the spectator due to weather conditions.

While I don't like Australia bending over to India, from a purely selfish point of view I'll be much happier if we end up with a day time test again. I hate the day-night bullshit.

Well I'll be. A pink ball causes crap weather.

I was hoping for a day/night test as its a great spectacle. I thought the last couple of tests were fantastic especially the last session of each test.

Oh well India in Adelaide first test of the summer I wont complain actually really looking forward to it.

I don’t care when it’s on I’ll still go and watch and get p*ssed.

A Proper Test match. 2pm start allows the socialites to get buzzed before heading to the cricket. The amount of blokes and chicks staggering around the members at stumps has been mind boggling!

It’s the same amount of game time still so how do you get more p*ssed at Day/night Tests?

I initially didn’t want it changed to day/night but I don’t mind it.
I’m happy either way.

Anything and everything. I went to every day of the previous test match between Australia and England 4 years prior and it was worlds apart in crowd behaviour.

I prefer during the day too. The only people who want nights are those that go for the social scene not the cricket. The test might actually go more than three days now too

GA or members?
I haven’t noticed a difference in the members at all.
