Jardine and Larwood will be relevant for as long as Englishmen have pink ballsActually in Jardine and Larwood's day pink was not seen as a 'girly' colour.
In the early part of the last century pink was the colour for boys.
Not that such a thing has any relevance in 2015.
Wouldn't have Jardine been playing when pink was a boys colour and blue was for girls. It is funny how perceptions of colours can change and it all really boils down to it is just a colour.Girls colour. Can't imagine DK Lillee or Curtly Ambrose bowling with one.
Or Jardine saying something like, "Harold, I want you to knock Bradman's head off with this nicely coloured pink ball."
It's all wrong.
Never knew that. Google says this was the case until the 1940s.Wouldn't have Jardine been playing when pink was a boys colour and blue was for girls. It is funny how perceptions of colours can change and it all really boils down to it is just a colour.
but it'll give the players super powers so that balances outIf popular media has taught me anything, it's that radioactive waste is green. Useless on a grass field.
'It felt very similar to a white ball' - Watling | Cricket | ESPN CricinfoI played a Sunday league in the summer which used one and I wasn't a huge fan. Was really hard to get it to swing longer than about 15 overs.
I'd say it's more similar to a white ball in characteristics than a red ball.
Hard to feel colour.
I quite like using them tbh. Feel much more like the white pill than the red, at least when they're older.Has anyone here bowled with a pink ball? (An unripe cherry?) How was it? What are your general thought?
Yes. Redundant argument given there never will be, but there should be. Call them 'pink elephant' stats.Should there be a separate stats field for Pink ball matches given whats known already after trials? Seen a few corners of the media and some players advocating the idea.
Was it a pink Kookaburra? Any comparisons have to be like for like really, given a Platypus/Kooka/Duke all perform very differentlyI played a Sunday league in the summer which used one and I wasn't a huge fan. Was really hard to get it to swing longer than about 15 overs.
