Inzamam Demands Six-Day Tests During Pakistan Winter
SourceInzamam demands six-day Tests during Pakistan winter
Inzamam-ul-Haq Thursday urged the International Cricket Council to play six-day Tests during the winter in Pakistan to reduce the impact of bad light and poor weather.
"We lost 15 overs a day because of poor natural light," said the Pakistani captain of the first Test against the West Indies in Lahore, which his side nevertheless won by nine wickets inside four days, finishing Tuesday.
"I think now it is time that we should start playing six-day Test matches in those cities where sun sets early," Inzamam added.
Heavy fog rules out an early start to play in Lahore and other Test venues such as Multan and Faisalabad in Pakistan's Punjab province, while bad light curtails play in the evenings.
Last year the Pakistan Cricket Board also urged the ICC to consider six-day Tests in winter here and experimented with orange cricket balls in domestic matches to combat the problem of poor light.
"If we play a six-day Test match with 75 overs a day during the winter season it would be good for cricket and it won't put pressure on the teams," Inzamam said.
"It is difficult to pull crowds in stadiums with shortened days."

In the old, old days the last test of a series was called a 'timeless test' - there was no time limit! Teams played it out till there was a result- as you can imagine I think they must have been the most boring games in history
Re: Inzamam Demands Six-Day Tests During Pakistan Winter
come on man cricket for 6 days, how the heck we going to globalise cricket then, no one will watch cricket for 6 days, if cricket needs to be globalise and to think of earing more investment, we need to shorten the game of cricket,

It's only for matches in the Pakistan during their winter time because there is no way we can have complete 90 over test matches for all 5 days in that country. They are always 15 overs short each day of the Test Match, so Inzi propsed that if they can play 75 overs each day for 6 days, they could actually have some results in the matches played in Pakistan during the winter season.
