RAM SLAM T20 Challenge

I really need to stop with last minute changes to my picks, that's three games now I have changed to the losing team
 
I was at the Paarl game last night quite excited about the new lights. I was kind of dissapointed, it seems like there were some pretty dark patches around the boundary areas. Better than the old lights I guess but now wow by any stretch. It actually looked quite dark on TV as well.

What did you expect? Lights like St Georges? :p

Dunno, they are LED as well, and people were raving that PE lights were like "daylight". Seeing as there are 6 pylons I thought ot would be a lot better. What did you think?

Haven't been to Paarl but from a practical point of view I've never photographed in a better lit stadium than SGP, not only in terms of brightness but also overall coverage.

I was thinking last night that maybe because Paarl has no stands around the field as "backdrop", ot maybe appears darker because you have a black backdrop around the ground. Maybe the light leaks a bit more as it doesnt reflect back from stands etc.

There are 6 pylons each with 60 LED clusters. Not sure what SGP has?

Not sure either but it's a little more complicated than just the number of clusters. I'll see if I can get in touch with one of the guys photographing there last night and see what settings he was using.

Also seems that LEDs are a lot more directed in the sense that from a certain angle you can look straight into the lights without any glare. It bleeds a lot less. With sunglasses on there is hardly any glare at all.

All I have to compary really os Newlands's lights. And there you feel like the whole field is lit in daylight. Paarl not so much. And the pylons are significantly higher and further away from the field than at Paarl.

Good game, but Warriors have useless players at no6 and no7. Cant field and cant bat. Both average 12 after 30/35 innings with a strike rate of 100.

I was impressed with Ingram, vd Dussen and Rickleton, who showed some real intent in the batting department.

The warriors had some good players over the years. But nothing like when it was still Border. Combining EL and PE was not a good idea.
 
F:-)#@#ning stupid umpire

Anyhow glad the captain got some runs at a decent rate for a change :p
