This Test was run to be the testing ground for this format to make changes to "save Test cricket" around the world ( remember it wasn't for Adelaide as we show up regardless ) and I'm not sure a 3 day game will really inspire other nations to take the format and run with it.
It might be a good thing, Adelaide might be the one and only place to hold them. That's great for us!
I agree Booney those that came up with the idea from the ICC and wanted to try it came out, stated before it began that if it was over in less than three days it would be deemed a failure.
Thought was was the Kookaburra rep when talking about the performance of the ball?
Still not convinced about the concept but as it was pointed out by Andrew Faulkner in the Australian Newspaper today don't forget to take the novelty factor.....over in 3 days and no player has really given decent honest feedback regarding batting under lights.
