Australian International Summer 2024/25

No.11 hits one of the world’s best fast bowlers into the 3rd tier, the lights are on, but noooooo, can’t play in this light.

Good Advertising for day night cricket at this venue !

Now we all get to watch captain Warner smack the Strikers around

Double butt ream … he’s still playing … plus … the Test day he can’t commentate because of BBL commitments is half washed out.

FML

Why can’t he and his missus faark off and have a gap year.

2-25mm of rain forecast in Brisbane tomorrow and then no rain forecast for the rest of the week.

Of course.

[dedja]

Of course.

Need to make sure that whatever they build for the Olympics … whenever they stop going around in circles … the stadium has a roof.

… but of course there’ll be a Law that says that they can’t play under a roof, and then there’s the light situation

[mal]

Agree- build stadiums with roofs from now on

Bollocks.
Cricket is an outdoor sport and should be open to the elements.

Tend to agree.

Would be a shame to have tests in Brisbane and not have the ball move around because of humid conditions etc.

I would hate a day where every test ground has a roof, and all pitches/conditions are identical.

I think the ICC needs to stop all these breaks in play. As others have said, its a fair stretch to take the guys off for light when a number 10 has hit one of the worlds best bowlers for six into the stands.

Need to be able to use the lights as well, even if it means a change to a pick ball of similar age. Yes the game might be affected a bit but imo its better than not playing or having games played in roofed stadiums.

Hazlewood selfish prick!

Has Hazelwood ever finished a 4 or 5 test series without injury.

Is that you AFL house?

Yes, roof must be permanently closed, even when there is glorious sunshine outside.

Also, make sure that you orientate the stadium so that there is so much shade that the grass can never grow properly

Put the heaters on to make it humid
Have the heaters on one side of the ground to act like a cross breeze

Raining again,

Captains should get together tomorrow morning is its raing, shake hands and head to the pub

Just to think next year they have the day night pink test

Yep …
