Archive ep: The very first day-night Test - a podcast by Bad Producer Productions

Season 2, Ep 3: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word. Proof of concept. That's what it was all about in 2015, when Australia hosted New Zealand in Adelaide for the very first day-night Test. The pink Kookaburra survived, then prospered, in a contest that was suffocatingly close from start to finish. The bowling was hot, the batters had to survive, and an all-time umpiring mistake had an outsized influence. Peter Siddle, Mitchell Santner, and a couple of Marshes were prominent. It was over in three days and nights, but it started something new. We also had time to discuss a bit of Olympic archery, the lost chance of a seven-Test summer, some top-level condescension, and even back then, the gold standard for opponents who annoy supporters was Stuart Broad.
