Sydney should be a day/nighter too tbh. Would at least stop the bad light delays
I’d make the majority of test matches here day nighters. Maybe the Boxing Day test doesn’t need to change
I was hoping Pakistan would jag a test, but they just threw it away each time they getting ahead.
They need to come up with a ball that doesn't go soft as quickly and can reverse swing first. The red Kookaburra for the past year or two has been distinctly better than in, say, the mid '10s, but the pink ball still dies after not too long.
Agree with this. We know he can dominate the Shield. Sending him back to do that more doesn't seem like a solution. He needs to find a way to be confident at the top level and maybe playing ODIs is the way to do that. A couple ODI tons on the big stage might fix him
Yeah I think the nervousness stems in no small part because he's representing his country. Cementing a white ball place could do a lot for that.
One Micky Mouse pink ball test a year is more than enough.
Nothing to do in Melbourne day or night so start time is irrelevant
I reckon two in a six test summer, one a series, would be good.
Early career Nathan Lyon would do a job, sort of Gillespie-like. Unfortunately after the first few years he gave up on that and became a carefree slogger
i like the post sydney tests for it because people by then are going back to work and kids are gearing up for school, not competing with big bash and so on. way better for engagement imo
Goes well with their smooth brains
Man when he wakes up to see Australia finished on 325/5 he's going to know in his heart of hearts that his failure to stay up and watch was the reason why.
