DAY NIGHT TEST MATCHES?

Cricket Australia has suggested playing day night test matches.This is something peculiar and never attempted in international cricket history.The Australian cricket board has suggested that there has been a steep fall in ticket sales for test matches and day night test matches can add charm to the matches.Many first class test played at Perth,Melbourne,Brisbane were played as a day night matches on a experimental basis.Ricky ponting has voted against this decision saying that the day night test matches are an absolute nightmare and he has been a traditionalist.The difficulty of playing matches day night with the red cherry has been well elucidated in the past where it is an absolute nightmare for the batters to identify the seam of the red new ball.Anyway the new venture seems highly unlikely according to me as it requires all the test playing nations' approval.
