The Ashes 2023 has been full of controversies and even on the final Day of the entire tour it sees multiple controversies. This time, England requested changing of the old ball due to it getting out of shape. Umpires obliged as the ball failed the ring Test and replaced with another old ball from their reserves. Although fans spotted that the new ball had more shine and it was not a like for like replacement of the ball. They were divided whether it is fair to replace the old ball with another old ball with features like a new ball and shared opinions and memes on twitter. Oops!

Horrendous
A picture paints a thousand words. no way the new ball looks as similar as the old one. Ricky Ponting is right, it needs to be investigated. No way two Elite level umpires can make a horrendous blunder like this. #Ashes #ENGvAUS https://t.co/yq83Ausu8u
