When it comes to cricket I do find it more lovely than not to celebrate & revel in the traditions & characters of the game. However, there are a few tweaks I would offer when it costs so much to attend one day of a test, especially with the chance of losing it all with our continuing unpredictable summer time(s). Surely, if Lord’s have spent tens of millions on floodlights only to use them for about half an hour or so a time this is ridiculous and not a good return on investment. This rule about seeing shadows when the ball is placed near to the ground is ludicrous. If players agree to play under flood-lights then that should be the end of it. Why should this take a year or two to change this rule - do it immediately; it WILL happen anyway. Plus, if time is lost to rain how about if both Captains agree they forgoe lunch or afternoon tea to make up time? This is where tradition is nonsensical for me when rain can delay play by an hour or two & lunch is still taken. People pay too much to be deprived like this.
