Pink Balls

[engssmoothcriminal]

So on the brightside we could be getting rid of the utterly useless white ball but dear god a pink replacement?

Cricinfo - Pink balls in county cricket?

"The logic is that a pink ball may be seen more easily, and a fraction earlier, by a batsman than a white one.
The new balls will be tested at Lord's indoor school this winter and will be used in university and 2nd XI matches next year. If scientists at Imperial College, London, can get the balls to keep their colour, they could be used in one-day county cricket next year and even eventually in one-day internationals."

Well personally I've never had any problem picking up a red ball against white kit.

(So crazy it could just work )

I read about this on the bbc sport pages: BBC SPORT | Cricket | Pink balls set for one-day trials

Before long I predict balls in sponsor's colours with logos all over them: sordid but ever more feasible.
