Yep. Think John Hastings ( who was playing for Worcs ) was also very critical - Lewis said at the forum he doesn't like if either.
In fact I don't remember any positive feedback at all from around the circuit...so naturally FTECB continue with the experiment. Brilliant scheduling too to have these matches played when the sun doesn't set until after the close of play.
It actually would have been brilliant scheduling if they'd play as normal with a red ball with normal light. If bad natural light stops play then make up for it by starting earlier next day.
Offer entry after 4pm for £5 with accompanied kids free. Make a kill on refreshments etc with kids in.
Good idea. Needs some innovative thinking but FTECB don't do that.
