			Looks like Capt. Clueless ('the Boy Wonder') made another stonking decision after winning the toss. Bowl first on a sunny day always fails....

So they can squeeze more 20/20's in ?!
 
If they could bowl 105 overs in a day then maybe, but they can't even manage 90...  They need to stop the constants interruptions with subs with drinks running in between every over; limit the no. of umpire reviews more; and make the players refund the ticket costs if they don't bowl the overs.  Generally just get on with the playing the game....
