Bad light

[Big Jeff]

I dont know if this has been a thing on here but what do the powers that be need to do to sort this issue.

PINK BALL seems to be the logical answer but the purists say no - the dye, the lacquer, the feel. the sound.

What about the show! The fans!

It's never been discussed once.

Pink ball is the answer - easier to see in all light.

Is now the time to consider coloured clothing and a white ball for ALL forms of international cricket? No more bad light, play until 90 overs are done (rain permitting) and possibly more attractive to the younger viewers. More work required on development of a white ball that moves, but is this something that is possible?

Didn’t the pink ball not work particularly well during those trials that they did the other year in terms of movement in particular? Remember that Adelaide test when it was flat as a pancake and Cook scored 250. Also when I watched it at Durham I found it harder to see than the red ball as a spectator
