That was a good match and I'm not really into all that slogging of 20/20. Give me five days and a few crates of beer and I'm happy.

The field of play is not actually covered, in particular the bowlers run-ups so that has to be corrected it would be expensive.

Floodlighting for test matches must be of a higher standard like Old Trafford.

The pink ball sounds ideal, bowlers like Anderson and Broad are against it saying it acts differently not sure if that's a great argument.

A lot of overs were lost in perfectly adequate light and the light readings must be increased by a couple of notches.

I don't think cricket can be played in the wet, my thoughts are for bad light only.

The bad light stoppages in the pakistan tests were ridiculous. Especially considering the only audience is now on TV. I think they could come up with a colour ball and lighting sytem that would stop that.
I'm also wondering how technology could help with rain delays?
Let's face it - so many times I've had a ticket to the test saw an hour or two and spent the rest of the day in the pub wondering when the next pitch inspection is going to be. Frankly, the umpires and cricket in general needs a rocket up its arse.
I wasn't too happy with Root seeming to say all the delays are fine. They're not, particularly if they kill the game.
Conversely, I wasn't too enamoured with the pitch and outfield in the 20/20. It was clearly too wet, explaining the large totals. Like wet soft ball after half an over.

BBC now. Could win the series against the ultimate rivals - the Aussies. 158 target.
