A PINK cricket ball used at Lord's could help Australia realise its revolutionary ambition to stage Test matches at night.
The ball had previously been shot out of a cannon onto hard surfaces in a laboratory at the Imperial College in London to test its durability, but this week was employed in a game between the Marylebone Cricket Club and Scotland.
The luminous pink orb is likely to be discussed when Cricket Australia's manager of cricket operations, Michael Brown, meets scientists from the CSIRO and Australian Institute of Sport next week to kick-start the search for a ball that can be seen by batsmen at night and behaves in a manner suitable for Test cricket.
