It is a good idea.Crowd will jenerate.People on duty who cannot come,can atleast watch some time after their duty hours.Ticket sale also will improve.Interested will have the opportunity to see the stars and matches.Also,we need to change the format to get results.It shud be like win or loss.Every match should be a possible result.
Play Yuvraj in place of Sachin Sachin is in good form,but others are in better form. Laxman is an Australia specialist. Sachin is the most vulnerable batsman in the team now,especially against quality pacers. He gets tired physically after reaching 100 odd,also his fluency in batting (in Tests) has receded.
If you are planning that then introduce the pink ball strategy which is in pipeline for you to decide. OTHERWISE, RED BALL CANT BE VIEWED PROPERLY IN Lights

I would rather suggest that each innings should consist only of one day to give better result.

I fully agree with you. After playing for full 5 days (nearly 30 hrs of play) we cannot have a draw. It is as simple as that.Teams score 600 runs and go on batting for 2 days in the first innings. This is where test cricket is boring. So new rules have to be introduced to ensure a result if the match has lasted for the full 5 days
Isn't it a bit crazy!!! Why would people who wouldn't like to see a test match in the morning, see it in the evening & night!!!!! Unless it is to picnic in the stadium!!! That means the tkts will have to be reasonably priced and other entertainment avenues thought about - probably shopping opportunities / an entertaining song and dance in the between.
