Hope that continues..They were hoping like hell that the pill would reverse, but it didn't, so they kept pushing for it to be changed but it didn't help.
In my experience the wet weather puts an end to much of the reverse swing, warm, humid and overcast for heavy air to get the maximum reverse effect, but as soon as it rains it turns to rubbish.
In India and Pakistan they'll tell you keep the pill bone dry, do not apply moisture to polish it, and keep it away from fielders with sweaty palms!
