Australian pink ball trials a success?

Question

Pink cricket balls are being trialled in a day-night Futures League fixture at Adelaide Oval in the first week of February. Have the trials been successful?

Answer 1

Both umpires and fielders have expressed concerns over the visibility of the pink balls at square leg, and there has been a suggestion that a black sights screen would improve visibility too. It’s not a ringing endorsement for the introduction of pink cricket balls for potential day-night Test matches, but then the trials are all about ironing out the kinks.
