Going against recent trends but I reckon there will be six results this round. With Saturday/Sunday games plus some warm weather the curators will pump more water into the decks that usual.
Prospect vs Adelaide
Tough call but going to go for the visitors narrowly. Hardest game to tip. Prospect have been a bit of a bogey team for Adelaide recently but I like Adelaide this year.
West Torrens vs University
Going for the Eagles here. Uni have a strong top three but get through them I think they're vulnerable. Daniel Drew and Spencer Johnson the keys.
Southern District vs East Torrens
Really liking East Torrens' start to the season. Batters in form and quicks sharing the wickets. Reigning premiers knocked off on their home deck in a boilover! Staunton to come out of retirement by Christmas!
Tea Tree Gully vs Sturt
Can't go past the Gullies on their home deck. Play that ground superbly, bat very deep.
Glenelg vs Port Adelaide
The Bays look the real deal so far. Pretty sure they're undefeated in every format so far? Palindromes here.
Northern Districts vs Woodville
Jets haven't beaten the Peckers since 2009/10
Think that run will continue here. Woodville too even across the board though they need Francesca back fit asap.

Saturday-Sunday game might be different = pitch to possibly turn Bays to win by 150+

Well... last week was ok I know but it sure seems there are a lot of grey overcast days when any other night of the week would be perfect

Surely tonight is the final nail in the coffin for Mid-Week 20/20 matches....no way a red ball match or white ball 50 would be playing in these conditions.

Those three very simple changes would mean that it works well. Could be really successful, fun nights for clubs. Just need it to be fair for both teams. You don't want the predicted light to be a factor being considered during the coin toss.

Agree with the time change and December part, but bowling 5 overs from one end is as village if not more than playing in the dark. Some bloody big scores last night though. Brad Davis carried his bat for 100* and his side still lost. Almost unheard of in T20's.

There's still 10 overs from each end and it's merely a common sense move to trim the game time down and beat the fading light.
If grounds had high LUX lights and state of the art sightscreens then you wouldn't need it but these are suburban ovals.
