Shine less on SG pink ball than Kookaburra,Says Eden curator Sujan Mukherjee
Kolkata, Nov 22: There has been more talks about the way the SG pink ball will behave in Indias maiden Day-Night Test against Bangladesh than the very outcome of the game which starts at the Eden Gardens from Friday. While some have said that the pink ball will make life difficult for the batsmen thanks to the swing it generates and the nature of the Eden track, chief curator Sujan Mukherjee begs to differ.
Speaking to IANS hours before the first ball is bowled in the much-anticipated clash, Mukherjee said that this SG pink ball doesn't seem to have as much shine as the Kookaburra that was used at the same ground during the much-talked about CAB Super League final which saw Mohammed Shami break the backbone of the opposition batting with his spell with the pink cherry.
