White riot

Although the limited-overs formats are called white-ball cricket, the colour is best associated with the traditional game.

And who says traditional can't be fashionable? These four women sport very chic whites during a beach cricket session in 1934. But the pads are a bit much for a day by sea, aren't they?

White sun block, or warpaint when Allan Donald put it on. Headingley, 1994.

International batsmen and bowlers may make a fuss about a gap that large in the sightscreen, but in amateur cricket, having a visibility aid must be a huge luxury.

White clouds (and blue skies) are pleasurable companions to have when playing cricket. It's only a nuisance when they turn grey.

What are the other white objects you associate with the long-form game? And what are your favourite colours in cricket?
