    Australia and New Zealand appear almost certain to play the first day-night Test with a pink ball next year, after discussions progressed between the two countries last week. Adelaide and Hobart are the two possible venues for the inaugural match, which is likely to take place in November 2015

    An experiment worth trying?

    But it is broke.Test cricket in most countries are poorly attended.

    Any ideas to increase receipts is welcome.

    Would love to see day/night tests in June,July and August in England

    I don't know if it would even work for one thing, would a pitch stay playable for 5 days if the players are playing at night with dew about?

    I expect Ashes tests in Aus would attract more viewers here as play would be during our morning.
