The day-night test proposed for next May between England and Bangladesh has been put on hold because researchers are unable to find a suitable ball.
According to the article in the Sydney Morning Herald a pink ball was put forward, but due to a touch to much movement and difficulties gripping the rock, it has been deemed to dangerous to even trial.
This is a set back for the future of the game, as of the two options presented by the MCC, this was the only accepted by all teams.
The other idea, of a World test championship, was poo pooed by India and England as they didn’t want to share the television profits with the rest of us.
Where is the love guys?
Perhaps the pink ball may have better been used at the recent Netball ‘Fastnet’ tournament in England?
