GRAEME SWANN said yesterday that England were better suited than Australia to host day-night Test matches over the next few years.

The first day-night Test starts in Adelaide today, between Australia and New Zealand, and with long days during the summer, Swann feels that it could be easier to play in England — especially with the traditional red ball.

The pink ball, which will be used for the first time in today’s test, has faced a lot of criticism and the conditions in England mean it wouldn’t need to be used according to the 36-year-old.
