Crash Hamster Aug 2017 1:17pm, 20 Aug 2017 923 posts	0 Crash Hamster Yep, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen at a cricket match... Jesus, then just about every sort of religious fancy dress, then anyone in fancy dress all piled down to the front. The players were absolutely pissing themselves (not that Joe Root needs any encouragement) and no-one was concentrating on the game at all! Highlight of the day really, as 19 wickets was a bit of a procession, with no real tension at all. For a day-night Test (and allowing that play in a normal Test can go on til 7pm if there's time to make up) there were only about 4 and a half hours of play after normal hours. 4 solid days of playing til 9.30 would've given a better idea of whether it will be worth repeating the experiment.
