Lights at Dharamsala are very Harare like, looks darker in certain areas of outfield.
There is a very easy catch dropped just now and it did look quite dark in that area.
BTW did they improve / added on the lights at Harare or they are still the same?.
EDIT: they've just shown an aerial view and 100% it is darker in the deep ends of the outfield.
Same as during the T10. It's fine out in the middle but pretty dark by the boundary. I doubt it would get ICC approval for international matches unfortunately.
They also need to add some lights in the stands because currently the spectators have to sit in total pitch black darkness out there
It's a shame that the Netherlands won't be playing that many big games after this. I guess the T20 world cup every 2 years gives them something to look forward to. I would say that playing some ODIs against the Proteas this year already really helped them mentally be ready. You can only really improve if you play the big guns regularly.
I don't know if the ICC wants to dish out any more full memberships anytime soon. Do the Dutch deserve it? Probably so if Ireland got it but even the decision to grant Ireland full membership I think only happened because of Afghanistan's quick rise. They couldn't leave Ireland out if they elevated Afghanistan.
I’d be stripping Afghanistan of any status due to blatant disregard for a number of ICC rules and give it to the Dutch, they’ve been there or their abouts for years now and arguably deserve it more.
Don’t see that happening though. Afghan seem more susceptible to being coerced into ICC block voting shenanigans so they serve a purpose for their masters.
The minnows are breathing some life into the tournament, too bad we don't have more of them!

Yeah the ones we saw during T10 won't get ICC Approval. If they've taken the efforts to do this much then they can put in a little more effort to make it up to standards.
