Even if they play through till 7pm there is still the danger of Bad Light stopping play later that evening whereas starting earlier could remove that chance.
And another thing..... 
Why, during the 20/20 world cup, when playing under flood lights and rain stopped play......why did they then reduce the number of overs when as far as i can see, they can play till late into the evening with the aid of the floodlights! |
I must say I agree with you on the earlier starting times...it is a question I have never received an answer to.
Regarding floodlit conditions...it is all down to the shadows cast by the artificial light.
Back to todays play......I thought the Aussies finished very strongly. If the extra day had of been available it would have been interesting to see what the outcome might have been.
One up with two to go....interesting developments ahead me thinks.
