南非与澳大利亚的测试赛在德班因光线不足陷入严重困境1。比赛前三天屡次因云层影响提前收场，第一天下午15:23就被迫停赛，仅进行了65.2局而非计划的90局1；第二天比赛于16:25结束，比预定时间早35分钟1；第三天也在16:31结束1。
国际板球委员会上周刚刚修订了测试赛规则，允许球队在赛前同意使用粉球进行整场比赛1。然而，南非和澳大利亚队未在赛前达成使用粉球的协议1，导致这一潜在的解决方案未能发挥作用。值得注意的是，前澳大利亚队长迈克尔·沃恩曾建议允许在光线变差时中途将红球换成粉球1，但新规则并未采纳这一灵活方案。前南非板球运动员肖恩·波洛克表示新规则应该被实施1。澳大利亚在测试赛中已打过15场日夜制比赛，远多于其他球队1，且快速手米切尔·斯塔克在这类比赛中取得了89个三柱门1。
South Africa and Australia's Test match in Durban has been severely disrupted by poor lighting conditions, with play suspended for more than 60 overs across the first three days 1. The International Cricket Council introduced a new regulation last week permitting teams to use a pink ball throughout an entire Test match if both sides agree beforehand, yet South Africa and Australia failed to reach such an agreement before the match began, leaving this potential solution unused 1.
Play was halted on the opening day at 15:23 due to cloud cover, with only 65.2 overs completed against a planned 90 1. The second day's play concluded at 16:25, ending 35 minutes earlier than scheduled, while the third day finished at 16:31 1. Former Australian captain Michael Vaughn had previously advocated for mid-match ball changes when light deteriorated, though the new rule does not permit this flexibility 1. Former South African cricketer Shaun Pollock has stated that the new regulation should be implemented in such circumstances 1.
Mitchell Starc has taken 89 wickets across 15 pink ball Test matches 1, while Australia has played 15 day-night Test matches—far more than any other nation 1.
