Day night test matches

Cricket Australia has been recently thinking of implementing the concept of Day Night Test Matches to increase the number of people watching the match at the ground. Everyone knows the fact that many local matches held in Australia were tested in a day night format. But doing so in International matches requires the approval from all the Test playing countries. It is difficult to spot the red ball in the lights. If we change it to a white ball, the swing is lost and the ball does not do much. When this was told to the press persons, the first reaction immediately came from Ricky Ponting itself who told that the traditional form of cricket should be played only during day time. It is to be waited and then see whether such a decision would be taken up the ICC to increase the ticket sales.
