    Not using floodlights is disappointing


    CT Sports: With all four days ending up early along with a loss of several overs in the Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia at the Pallekele Stadium due to bad light, the question arises of not using floodlights at the venue for the Test series where the visitors are keen to use them.


    "That's always disappointing. Both countries had to agree to that. We are quite happy to proceed. That's our policy in Australia. We are playing day and night Tests now. Even with red ball cricket if lights are available we want to use it. We want play as much as possible. But once again that falls out of our hand"said Australian Batting Consultant Stuart Law assessing the situation.
    It is said that the Sri Lanka Board took the decision not to use floodlights at Pallekele since the next two venues in the Test series do not have floodlights which clearly seems not to please the visitors.
    Play ended at 3 p.m due to bad light on day four while even the third day was the same and the use of floodlights could have seen an end to the match by now. It's not the first time this happen in Test matches in Sri Lanka.

    The relevant clause of the ICC's Test match playing conditions allows for the umpires to "authorise the ground authorities to use the available artificial lighting so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions". Contrary to a popular perception, there is no provision barring the use of lights if not every Test series venue is equipped with them.

    ponnayo man kiwwe arnold kiyapu de pakooo

    hahah expert wage talk kare man hituwe mona hari dannawa kyala, :lol:

    The more devilish detail arises from a "Note" beneath that clause. It states: "Home Boards may, prior to the commencement of the series, seek the approval of ICC to amend this playing condition to provide that artificial lights will not be used at specific venues." Therefore, it was SLC who chose not to allow the use of lights at Pallekele, for reasons best known to the board and its president Thilanga Sumathipala. As a Cricket Australia spokesperson put it: "We were happy to use them but both teams have to be in agreement." As outspoken advocates of day-night Tests, CA could hardly say otherwise.


    rule paiyak ne, if we wanted we could have used them,
