In a move as unjustified as selecting Xavier Doherty in Australia’s last World Cup squad, a rogue cricketer has defended the pink ball.
Speaking anonymously, Player X (no, not Chris Cairns) believes that there is nothing wrong with the proposed pink Kookaburra.
Mate, it’s just a bloody ball.
30 years ago, people sooked about the white ball. That’s now used during the day and also during the night.
What’s the bloody difference?
Just change the sidescreens to the opposite colour of pink.
What would that be anyway? Maybe some sort of blue?
Player X went on to shoot down recent negative views shared by the likes of Adam Voges.
The guy bats 5, and is not that good at it. Why wouldn’t he blame the ball if he could?
It’s like blaming chocolate for making you fat.
It’s an easy out.
Chris Rogers is no different.
The guy claims he has quit Test cricket because he can’t see the pink ball due to colour blindness.
It’s not even pink.
It’s starts as a fluoro red and after 40 overs, it’s as dull as a normal red ball is after 40 overs.
Balls suffer wear and tear as well as lose their colour.
It’s normal.
If Rogers really is colour blind, why does the colour matter at all? Wouldn’t he just see everything as a shade of gray or something?
Here’s an idea.
How about, rather than judging the pink ball’s performance after one match under substandard lighting in Canberra, we actually give the the idea a chance?
Imagine something strange happens like people come and watch, or the balls moves a little more to counteract dead pitches, or God forbid, the sky doesn’t fall in?
A Cricket Australia spokesperson said they had started an investigation to identify Player X.
Our Bupa Support Team councillors are at the ready to help him through this clearly difficult time.
DennisCricket_ I recall reading that Ed Cowan supported it. Disagree on the substandard lighting point – no problem with seeing white ball.
SpinnerGrace Substandard v Adelaide Oval
DennisCricket_ Couldn’t say as compared to Adelaide, but not substandard to play matches with/under.
DennisCricket_ why would we make the ball MORE visible? Batsmen get enough runs as it is. I say make it green or brown..U0001f61c
DennisCricket_ Only homosexuals should use the pink balls.
Hitler thought world domination was a good idea too.
DennisCricket_ This is why you recently started playing club cricket, isn’t it? So you could identify yourself as a rogue cricketer?
ha ha ha! Hilarious, TY
