After the match Pep made a few comments about the flight of the ball. I don't know if it was his way of having a go at some of the players for miss-passing it fairly often, and ballooning it occasionally, or if there was something about the way it flew about. It did remind me of some games as a kid many years ago.
Don't know if this classic from Mitre will be used for any other games this season.

I remember those cheap balls you could buy when I was a kid ( Not that we could often afford even one of those most of the time) They were so light a gust of wind blew them about and they were impossible to control properly. It's a long time ago now but I think the cheap ones were about 7/6d and the better ones 10 shilling.
