It was going to happen sooner or later. At least it's here, if it goes ahead.

Excellent move. Would be fantastic to watch it under lights....

This is what Test Cricket needs to move with the times and the threat of 20/20.....

Cant wit means that people can head down after work.

I remember SA vs QLD in a day/night shield match going back a while

Its all good to try it for something different. But as they pointed out in the article that its difficult to find a suitable ball colour. The Orange balls (they said Pink in the paper but it was definately organge) they used for the D/N Shield games swung a mile and sounded terrible off the bat. They also must not overkill it either. Maybe limit the number that they play a season.

I've pointed out that we get really good Test match crowds when you consider factors. The novelty about it will only further boost crowds, I'll definitely be there for it.

What a great concept, i will be attending no doubt about it!

I heard James Sutherland on ABC radio today and he ruled it out. He said it may happen on day but it certainly won't happen in 09 in Australia.
