Australia v New Zealand, 3rd Test, Day 3 - Australia win the first ever day-night Test match


Australia’s chase was not as easy as the World Cup final in MCG this year, but they were made to work for it by Brendon McCullum’s men – scoring just runs to win seemed like climbing a mountain. Trent Boult was brilliant with the ball while McCullum showed the intention to fight till the end and like I said yesterday, the positive intent is a very important ingredient in making a contest simmering. People like McCullum plays the game the way it should be played.

A 2-0 win is satisfactory, but Australia should thank Nigel Llong for this. Had Lyon been given out, the result might have been different. Well, anyhow, the first ever Day-Night Test match has been a pleasure to watch. But I am not ready to say that this concept is here to stay, though I want it to stay. I wish to see how the pink ball behaves in the subcontinent as its success on the subcontinent will ensure its longevity. You know what I mean.

Thank You
