Crookbond Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Australia built such stadiums (roof could be opened/closed) and there was even a 3 match series they played with Pakistan (and lost) around 2000/01. I even remember some player hitting the roof with a six - I think the rule was that it would be a dead ball.
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Fletcher needs to give some hypothetical target to Kohli
Jersey #10 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Losing the toss maybe a blessing in disguise tbh Ideally one should pick to bowl first to avoid the dew factor at the end.
Straight Drive Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 iirc South Africa and Australia played 3 matches in indoor stadium in Australia. That was probably about few years back. Cost is a huge factor for indoor stadiums. The other negative is that one ball hit the roof , so there can be controversies in world level matches due to such incidents. However, it would be better if the boards like BCCI who can easily afford such roofs build one or two indoor stadiums . A full match is better than reduced or no match at all.
fineleg Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Fletcher needs to give some hypothetical target to Kohli It doesnt work that way. Very different mindset, so this "hypothetical" thing wont work in reality for VK.
Jersey #10 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 For the same reason there are no indoor MLB stadiums
game_changerr Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 yepp .....the strength of kohli diminishes big tims in setting and vice versa 4 nohit
Precambrian Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 For the same reason there are no indoor MLB stadiums Can you enlighten? What is MLB?
jonas10 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 What are you guys whining about? Were chasing 185 :cantstop:

Jersey #10 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Can you enlighten? What is MLB? Major league baseball I think it has to do with the height the ball can travel vertically. Unless if they build some weird type of tall canopy, I don't see it happening.
Precambrian Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 cost is a big issue. Roof costs a lot of money Definitely not something the cash rich BCCI can't support? Would it? And I don't think spectators would mind paying 25% premium to watch the matches in a cozy stadium would they?
Pagalpanti Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Why would SL chase? Cloudy conditions = no dew right? or because of the Kohli factor?

And I don't think spectators would mind paying 25% premium to watch the matches in a cozy stadium would they? I agree. Cost should not be the issue. Cricket is a fairly lucrative sport.
IKnowU Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Cost and Maintenance would be the crucial factors, both which BCCI is not really keen on
