can't believe how quiet it is in the ground. I know not many would buy day 5 tickets, but I'd have expected loads of walk ups today
 
Haha. “Can we have a new ball please?” Umpire says now

1 ball later “Can we have a new ball please?”

I know a lot of teams ask, but twice in 2 balls! Taking the piss
 
Surely a ball shaped like an egg is an advantage to the bowlers?? If it’s egg shaped then you never know which way it might bounce surely??

Yeh their problem wasn't the shape of it but the softness. Swap it for a harder one and its like having a slightly older "new ball" again
