The tower lights are working, but sounds like light has been pretty marginal and some of the commentators (e.g. Simon Doull) were surprised at how long they played on for.
Henry said he didn't even see his delivery, didn't pick it up at all. And it wasn't like he was facing Brett Lee out there.

Are we really going to blame bad light for that woeful batting display? Time to accept that it's KW or nothing for us now.

Poor Kane is going to have to carry this ordinary side for the rest of his career.

I thought it was awkward too, but they go simply by the light meter reading, no?

Bad light was a legit complaint yesterday. To be honest, if all teams were full of decent humans like NZ, we could just take their word on bad light instead of relying on light meters. But if such a system was followed, you just know that ****s like Broad, Anderson etc would abuse the **** out of such a system when it suits them.

Again, not so much this season:, he only managed to take one wicket, which in addition to stinking up the joint with the bat, is probably why he only managed to play 7 games.
Hmm i really should have checked the stats for this season for him. Just assumed he was doing as well as he did last season.

Also, the list of Kiwaaahs for this tour now reads:

- Losing the tosses
- Pitches
- Jadeja's appealing
- Umpiring
- Bad Light
- Bad Luck
- 'our players suck'

Just finished the 3 hour marathon that was the msd movie. 7/10 first half 2/10 in the second with typical bollywood romance and all that drama. If they were going to be so inaccurate and dramatize it so much then at least make it inspirational like Iqbal. 3 hours that I'll never get back smh.
You choose to watch a 3 hour Bollywood movie and then complain about typical Bollywood stuff and the 3 hours you won't get back in the end?

It's not an excuse, we were already in trouble at 80-4. But that period of play pretty much ended this match as a contest. Bad luck more than anything, having to go out there with nothing to gain and plenty to lose for 40 mins.

I'll look forward to it if it happens with India taking up the DRS. With Jadeja in the team India will be out of reviews within his third over.

Yeah they are, it's just that the earliest you can start now is 15 minutes early. They changed the rules on the (legitimately sensible) basis that it's better for the players to have two 2:15 sessions than one 2:30 session. Of course that's assuming that there's any prospect of the the second 2:15 session being completed.
