Yeah, thats my opinion as well.The idea doesn't make me want to throw my hands up with a cry of "O tempora! O mores!" (quite), but there does seem to be a bit of cart before the horses about the announcement for mine. The ball not being up to it the principle issue. Few day/night first-class games as trials might be nice. There's a fair chance it'll all go horribly **** up.
Lets put it on the table as an option and try it out at lower levels and really think it through.
Leaving aside the ball, conditions etc, Id like to see the market research that conclusively shows that this will increase crowds and the reports that the TV companies will embrace it and that it will lead to an increase in revenue.
Its a pretty big change, and one that Im not automatically opposed to, but it has to be done correctly with obvious and proven benefits and have the potential problems ironed out.
