    2008-09-02 20:33:48.0

    Why are test cricket balls red?

    2008-09-02 20:37:23.0

    (appropriate enough?)

    2008-09-02 20:37:30.0

    2008-09-02 20:39:46.0

    Because if they were green, you wouldn't be able to see them on the grass..

    2008-09-02 20:41:32.0

    Why not Yellow or blue?

    2008-09-02 20:50:50.0

    Or maybe, the question should be - why are ODI balls white?

    2008-09-02 20:51:04.0

    Cause 'Kookaburra' ran outta red paint once? Laughing

    2008-09-02 21:03:35.0

    2008-09-02 21:05:24.0

    What happened to the experiment they were going to do with orange balls?

    They were talking about it last season.

    apparently there was talk of using them in both, day and night games, but I don't remember it happening....

    2008-09-02 21:26:54.0

    I swear they did use them?

    2008-09-02 21:31:24.0

    hmmm... I thought they were using pink balls

    Cricket balls are notoriously hard and potentially lethal, hence today's batsmen and close fielders often wear protective headgear. Raman Lamba was killed when hit on the head while fielding at forward short leg in a club match in Bangladesh. Only two other cricketers are known to have died as a result of on-field injuries in a first-class fixture. Both were hit while batting: George Summers of Nottinghamshire on the head at Lord's in 1870; and Abdul Aziz, the Karachi wicket-keeper, over the heart in the 1958-59 Quaid-e-Azam final. The last cricketer to die after being hit in any match was Ian Folley of Lancashire, playing for Whitehaven in 1993.

    2008-09-02 21:42:36.0

    They ICC were thinking about it. And I think theyu use pink balls for 20-20 matches?

    2008-09-02 21:42:41.0

    Yeah... I remember seeing it in action some time

    2008-09-02 21:43:31.0
