I'm please that lady told her what she was doing wrong the moment she got down that end.

Bill walks down the track like Joe as well, it's uncanny

Have to say Hales looks in decent touch, played some monster sixes down the field

He is colorblind - when the round of day night games comes around he is sitting out as a result

How do the lights make things more difficult for colourblind players?

not an expert on colour blindness but I believe the grass(green) and the pink ball cannot be distinguished differently, as opposed to a red ball and grass can be...

at least I think that's the reason he could not play in that match..

I am red/green colourblind. People can find it very difficult to get their heads around when you try explaining it to them.

A friend once lost the ball in the grass as he was colourblind! He was standing next to it for 5 minutes everyone was just laughing

A cricket ball looks red and grass looks green. It's nuances that can be difficult..

A local league where I live uses orange and pink ball, supposedly to counter the fading light. I have to say I struggle more with the orange one tmore than the pink. Ironically, I struggle with it more when the sun is out.

When I play snooker, I can lose the brown. But only if the brown is a particular type of brown and the reds are a darker red.

I once bought green shoes thinking they were brown.
