5 reasons why pink-ball Day-Night Test is the future

#4 Much more result-oriented

All Day-Night Test have yielded a result

One step to ensure that Test matches are not boring, five-day draws is to see if more of them can be made positively result-oriented. While that quite legitimately has its critics who feel it would be a step towards introducing the T20 element in Tests, it does make Test cricket far more watchable.

Day-Night Tests is obviously a big step in that direction because the swinging ball and the difficulties batsmen face under floodlights means more wickets will fall and the matches are less likely to be unexciting draws.

Indeed, all five of the Day-Night Tests have yielded results which support the hypothesis that this is obviously a more result-oriented format. And if many of these matches do finish fast, the ICC might even introduce the Thursday-Sunday four-day Day-Night Test which it has been mulling over.

Whichever way it goes, the format seems to be exciting and it is pulling crowds in like never before.
