The battle of balls...

Icc President David Morgan has said that day-night test matches are on their way. over the last few decades, tests have failed to draw crowds to stadiums. In order to revive their near-dead appeal, in a traditional british way, a committee has been formed. Our very own dear Sirji Gary kirsten has also been included in the board.

The other panelists being: Ravi Shastri, Clive Lloyd, Ian Bishop, Mark Taylor, Kumar Sangakkara, Tim May, Justin Vaughan, Simon Taufel, Ranjan Madugulle, Keith Bradshaw, Clare Connor, David Kendix and Steve Tikolo.

Now the real question that arises is: Which ball are they going to use? the red ball? the white ball? or a new ball altogether?

The Red Ball: an all-teary red ball, fearing its end..

As per my unofficially official sources, white balls are right at the forefront in the battle.

Overall, it does sound interesting. The idea. Rest, only time will tell.

p.s. isn’t it the run-rate that bores us off in tests? or as i was rightly corrected: lack of close encounters/the duration?
