You have to wonder if the players prefer the red/orange shirts.
I mean shirt clash is hardly an issue in cricket. You have a batting team who I guess are relatively identifiable because the are holding a lump of wood and a bowling team who are not...!

Definitely an issue in cricket - remember taking someone new to the sport to a Glos v Glamorgan game a few years ago when they both had blue kit with yellow highlights, it just looked ridiculous. Not helpful!

No, cream whites and white jumpers. A ghastly combination.
England's jumper game has been terrible for years, especially when compared to Pakistan, Ireland or just about anyone else.

Pretty sure some of them were wearing both cream jumpers and cream whites this series, but not all of them. Seemed a bit odd though as I noted Buttler was wearing a mismatch who'd presumably just been issued the kit.

Better not take them to a test match then.

Fair point, but that's at least explained by the traditions and so on. Having coloured kit with names/numbers/sponsors etc etc and then not caring about clashes is daft if you ask me - otherwise why bother?
