LOL, so the ball is 'thrown' into the pitch every ball bowled. If the batsman drives the ball then there's a chance the ball will hit the pitch again.
90 overs a day is a min 540 hits on the pitch, then add the times the batsman hits it into the pitch.
So we are supposed to believe that a few odd throws from the outfield that bounce to the keeper will dramatically alter the ball, considering the fact that the fieldsmen need to be skilled enough to bounce the ball on the same side each time to get a consistent roughing up of the ball?
Baawaahaaa ...
