[QUOTE="bargepole, post: 1050483, member: 85170"] Both squads will be putting in the hard work this week to prepare for Test 2. But perhaps the people with the hardest job will be the Cape Town Stadium ground staff, as they try to restore the badly cut-up pitch to a standard that will survive another 80 minutes of ferocious action. It has been said that an evening kick-off time is not ideal in the SH winter, with the evening dew making the ground damp. Could they consider bringing forward the kick-off to 3pm SA time (2pm UK) to play the game in the drier afternoon conditions? Or, even more radically, as they don't need an empty 50,000-seater stadium, moving the venue to somewhere like Bishops Diocesan College, which has an excellent pitch and pavilion, and has been used as a training base by previous England squads?
