It’s one of my bugbears with nigh****chmen- they increase the chances of an early wicket the next morning and help the bowling side get their tails up. I’m far from being a fan of the idea.Quote:

Should never have let them off the hook in their 1st innings, although they were somewhat saved by DRS.......which, I'm sure has been tampered with too create more bounce than there wasQuote:
