The late great Fred Trueman.

He was once interviewed on TV about cricket being a Gentlemen's game....to which he replied 'my idea of a Gentlemen is one who gets out of the bath to have a piss'.

I think of him every time Pakistan drop Warner (It's surprisingly often).

Yeah I read that, but ODIs played since the 80s had coloured clothing. What was different for that particular match? Unless it was a pre planned send off type thing.

Only the Tri Series in Australia was played with white balls and coloured uniforms and for a while England refused eventually playing in all light blue before eventually embracing it, for a long time - games in England were still red ball and whites for a long time after - white balls / coloured clothing was part of World Series Cricket introduced by Kerry Packer

No idea mate, every team had their own strip by then.
