Pelé's first World Cup in 1958 was the start of a new era of football and in many senses of a whole new world

In the first colour photos of a World Cup – Chile 1962 – it has changed to a light ochre, the chom-choms of yore now flattened into a stitch pattern to create a smoother orb.

MS Dhoni: Gets his timing right one last time

Here’s to a bright, fuchsia-filled state of play
Remember, pink’s short association with cricket prior to Friday’s match has hardly been serious. The first ODI, played under the Big Top of Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket – ‘pyajama cricket’ –on November 28, 1978, had Australia in wattle gold (named after the golden wattle plant that signifies unity in Australia, but ‘canary yellow’ to the rest of us) taking on the West Indies in, er, coral pink. Even the likes of Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Colin Croft and Viv Richards in salmon couldn’t inspire cricketing, never mind sartorial, confidence.
