Pink ball
Looks like its an easy excuse if you a) get out cheaply or b) drop a catch.
That said, not sure about this day/night test thing. How can anyone ever really appeal against the light nearing days end now?

Re: Pink ball
Trying to keep an open mind, missed a lot of cricket coz of work. Love the idea of wandering down after work for a few hours test cricket on a summers evening. May not work but you'll never know unless they give it a go, worth a try I reckon.

Re: Pink ball
The talk is that if they get the pink ball right then they will use it in all matches and then switch on the lights during bad light.Bomber wrote:Looks like its an easy excuse if you a) get out cheaply or b) drop a catch.
