Jan 5, 2010, Sydney Cricket Ground: England put Australia to the sword in the third day of the final Test. They bat for the entire day, establishing a first innings lead of 187 (and counting). They'll go on to win the match comfortably, their third innings victory of the series. Television viewers watching the ball crash into the advertising hoardings can't help but notice the stadium's preponderance of pink. The untroubled stumps have a pale pink tinge to them. England's travelling supporters-the Barmy Army-are turned out in pink polo shirts. In the commentary box, Nasser Hussain sports a pink blazer, and Michael Holding a similarly coloured bandana; earlier, both teams donned pink caps.
