    utter madness, wish I was involved

    Good luck to them. I'm a little concerned about the idea of trying to sleep whilst your team are batting - I reckon after a couple of days the innings could get very short! Needs a squad rotation system...

    spoke to chris earlier - they `banked` the dinner breaks for the last few days , and under the rules they had 6 hours `off` and sleep for everyone
