Day-Night Test: Picking 'wobbly' ball in twilight a challenge, feels Wriddhiman Saha

By Saurabh Sharma November 20, 2019 • 17:31 PM View: 812

Kolkata, Nov 20: Picking the pink ball after it crosses the batsman is a challenge wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha is looking to tackle when India take on Bangladesh in the first-ever Day-Night Test at Eden Gardens from Friday.

The pink ball, as opposed to the traditional red one, has more lacquer for better visibility, especially during twilight. The extra coating of lacquer is expected to make the ball wobble more which in twilight could be a problem for the stumper to pick.
