Changing subject a little. Should Lords still get two test a year?

South Africa (and West Indies) are visiting England in the same year as the Champions Trophy. All 7 tests are to be played from July until September.

So it can be done then. Tests in May are a waste of time.

Though the South Africa series consists of 3 ODIs and no T20is to make this possible.
Problem with test cricket in September is the quality of daylight starts to diminish and the nights really draw in. Sunset in early September is 7.30pm-8pm, whilst later May it's 9pm-9.15pm.

Is that true? I used to leave work at 4pm until the end of September and get a whole golf round in..... I would say its certainly light enough to play well past 1900-1930, maybe for an hour, before 2030 starts to get noticeably dark
