After the ball-switch controversy in the first unofficial Test in Mackay, India 'A' players once again seemed to be unhappy with the red cherry on Day 2 of the second match of the series in Melbourne.
The initial controversy during the tour-opening game happened when the overnight ball was changed on the morning of the final day of the match, allegedly after a few scratch marks were found on it. The Indian team expressed its displeasure over it, which delayed the start of play as the umpires tried to explain the situation to the visitors.
