4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following with respect to the Day/Night Pink Ball used in cricket matches
1)The Day/Night Pink Test ball is dipped in grease so that water doesn’t seep into the leather.
2)The Day/Night Pink ball gets a pigment finish, and is sprayed with a thick coat of pink colour so that it sparkles all night, making it easy for fielders, batsmen, fans in the stands and those watching the game on TV to spot.
Which of the above given statements is/are correct?
Correct
All cricket balls of red, pink and white colour are made of cork, rubber and woollen yarn, using similar production techniques. The colour of the dye on the tanned cowhide, and the difference in ‘finishing’ decide in which format a ball is used. The conventional Red Test ball is dipped in grease so that water doesn’t seep into the leather but the same cannot be done with the Day/Night(D/N) Test pink ball since the grease would dull the fluorescent pink, affecting the visibility of the ball under lights during the night matches. The D/N ball also gets a pigment finish, and is sprayed with a thick coat of pink colour so that it sparkles all night, making it easy for fielders, batsmen, fans in the stands and those watching the game on TV to spot. But this emphasis on the ball maintaining its pinkness also slows its aging making the throws monotonous.
