Marsh dismisses day-night Tests
Australia great Rodney Marsh has said that concerns over ball colour
should not stop the staging of day/night Tests, given it is more than 30
years since he played in floodlit “Supertests” during World Series
Cricket.
Last month the sport’s global governing body, the International
Cricket Council (ICC), announced Tests could be played under lights,
with rival teams deciding on the hours of play and the colour of the
ball to be used.
“I say bring it on!” Marsh, who played in the “rebel” World Series
Cricket run by the Australian media mogul Kerry Packer in the 1970s,
which pioneered innovations now commonplace to the world game such as
coloured clothing and floodlights.
