Re: India may veto Adelaide night test

Yeah a night test might be their only hope despite our woeful state. Interesting that the decision came whilst the occasionally was in town.

Perspective from the other side always shows that there's more to it...

Big deal. We were told previously. Doesn't justify why they won't play ball, literally.

In a bilateral series... If one team doesn't want to take part in a specific set of conditions, why should they have to? As is is, I'm sure that a day test would be a better sporting contest than all the night tests so far.

Unlike DRS, it's hardly been adopted worldwide.

Respectfully disagree. Next the Bannies will argue for them to have to agree on which grounds are used and pitch conditions.

Official. Bannies are refusing to play a day/night test. Probably because of our record in pink ball tests & without our best batsmen, India think they might steal this one.

by skully Tue 08 May 2018, 07:42

I suppose, on the bright side, it shows that the Bannies still take Tests very seriously.

So much so that they are shit scared to play under lights for fear of being embarrassed.

by taipan Tue 08 May 2018, 08:16

For once I agree with the bannies. Not a fan of pink ball tests.

by Bradman Tue 08 May 2018, 08:22

I'm not either and hawkeye for lbws suck. But the bannies should get on board. Think of the crowds and ratings if they played them at home.

They tried to schedule one against NZ in 2016. I think NZ refused.

Shows who runs the ICC.
Even the Lankans are playing a provincial pink ball match in preparation for Aus.

I am not sure that this has anything to do with the ICC.

As the over seeing organisation, they should have the right to veto in this situation.

by skully Wed 09 May 2018, 01:09

The Bannies certainly can't lay claim to being "early adopters" in the great game.

by Bradman Wed 09 May 2018, 01:23

Yeah but like everything they do once they start they do it so much better than anyone else.

Clive would be proud of the naked greed and disregard for international rules.

by skully Wed 09 May 2018, 01:34

Clive who?

The grounds, dates etc have always been agreed by the two teams.

Exactly, and as you said, there was the New Zealand test in India which didn't occur due to New Zealand's reticence.

Just seems to be an extra bit of drama always with cricket Australia and the BCCI.

by taipan Wed 09 May 2018, 08:18

I honestly don't get the angst over this. Does it really matter if it's a pink ball test or not?
