At New Road our Championship match against Worcestershire was played until 19.53. There was a late start due to rain, there were intervals in play due to rain. But at a quarter to eight the seamers were still bowling. Competitive red ball cricket into the evening is possible even in Mid May.
We are in a temperate country, our summer days are long, we could play championship matches into the summer evenings, we would not even have to resort to a pink ball.
There are evening T20’s and evening one day matches. We play those in the evening so more people can attend.
So tell me again… just why are there no evening Championship matches in June and July?
