BLIC - Pitch Marker Colours

I think the scheme is:

Green: Likely dot ball (depends on confidence/batsmen)
Amber: Confidence dependant
Red: Bad ball, likely runs

Though i find most of the time wickets come from amber and occaisonally red, green seem kinda worthless

It's to do with length. Green balls have a much smaller timing zone and should be the wicket taking ones (although yorkers are always red and get the tailenders every time).
On test level anything red will generally get smashed by the top order.
