Day/Night games ?

Will there be some ? If so which games ?

Looking forward to it starting now. :)
It is widely regarded that batting second (under lights) is more difficult than batting in daylight, something particularly evident at the last World Cup (South Africa 2003), when the ball swung sideways at night.

The relevance?

As far as I'm aware none of the West Indies' grounds have lights, so day/night games are pretty much impossible. I don't think it has much to do with the swinging ball.

I prefer Day/Night games. Sitting down with a drink in the night there is nothing better. And with day games you are at school or work and you get home and it is all finished!!

Dang, I like Day/Nighters.
The ball might swing more, but I suppose that simply puts more importance on the toss of the coin. The class teams should still walk away the victors.

so why is the point of having a white ball when we are going to have to day/night games...the red ball is surely easier to see in the day....is this the 1st world cup since day/night been introduced to not have a day/night game?

Want some Day/Nighters, how far are Carribean behind England? If you find out please tell me.
you don't really want day-nighters. Day games in the Carribean will be about 3pm-10pm in the uk, there or there abouts, pretty good times.
