Not sure they've thought this through. Drunken enough affairs at the weekends of a normal test, let alone a day/night one!
A muggy, overcast evening under lights in Birmingham - the ball will be hooping round corners imo.

Well it's quite bright and breezy at the moment, although overcast. I think to reach ''muggy'' the temperature will have to jump significantly. May have to break out the Cagoule

I suggest batting first, scoring quickly and then declaring when it gets dark.

I doubt it'll swing as much in the dark*

a certain J Anderson has said that the pink ball doesn't do as much as the red one... just wobbles around a bit

Seeing as the white ball does feck all it would make sense that the pinkun does half of feck all.

I don't understand why it's possible to play test cricket with a red ball under lights if there's bad light, but not possible to play with a red ball under lights if it's dark.
The whole thing is a nonsense if you ask me.

All cricket matches should be played with a red Duke ball.
