Typical D/N garbage, when one team bats the majority of the night sessions
 
Cricket is a business more than a sport these days. It’s not Test cricket when they play D/N matches with a pink ball. Conditions vary drastically from day to night and the introduction of this is a disgrace and done purely for commercial reasons. Hence why visiting teams to Australia treat the Adelaide Test Match for what it is. A Joke!
 
Another farce in cricket is the computerised system they use for replays on LBW decisions but use actual tv replay footage on other decisions.

In Australia’s first innings the lbw decision of out looked far less out than the Green decision which looked absolutely plum but the computerised ball tracking had both balls pitching outside off stump with Konstas delivery pitching shorter than Greens yet it somehow was hitting the top of leg stump yet Green received a fuller delivery that was clearly going on to hit the stumps but the computerised ball tracking had it missing leg stump.

I’m not saying the Konstas delivery wasn’t out but it looked less out than Greens and he only went up to the video with 2 seconds left.
 
Cracker of a final day coming up in the Lord’s test between the Poms and India. India need 100 plus runs, Poms 3 wickets. Poms already taken 2 wickets this morning.

This is really gripping, much more than td game in Jamaica.

We will likely ve out batted this summer by the poms
 
Bowlers have been exceptional. Can’t say same for batters. Team has relied far too long on bowlers to get them home.

Starc 6 for 9, Boland 3 for 2. Second lowest test score ever 27. Special mention to Extras,2nd highest score with 6
 
Poms win by 22 runs.

@Rod67 you are right about day/night Tests. Nighttime batting conditions are woeful with the orange ball. The Aussie vs Windies turned into a farce.
