I can. More pissed up idiots at the game with no clue and only there because its the "in" thing to do.....


As opposed to the rarified air of the Adelaide oval members where people don't even watch the game? :)

Agree, when it comes from a spectator, financial, exposure point of view

Reckon the players would hate it though, with the only benefit to them being they get out the heat abit on the real hot days

That could be the first time this sentence has ever been uttered in safooty :)


Only embrace it when it's needed not just for the sake of it

In the case of test match cricket as u said it does offer the oppurtunity to expose so many more people to test cricket, plus going in the evening will make a much better drinking session with the lads, and should provide larger crowds

I'm for it provided they can get the ball right which at this stage is doubtful but definatly worth a crack at

It will be successful, it will stay and grow legs, at least we get to pioneer it regardless of it's outcome.

I agree Jim. The ball is an issue..
Its mainly the dusky bit before the lights take over.
Not nice facing a charged up quick with a new ball in his hand at this time in a test match.
