Google for Cricket?

I received this in a forwarded email by a friend. I have no idea what it implies. The email mentioned nothing and just included this picture as an attachment. What do you think it is? Just a random logo or a customized search for cricket news and stats by Google? It will be quite something if its the latter. Some competition for Cricingo statsguru and HowSTAT.

Google may need to change the red ball to pink though, if the pink trials are successful.

Speaking of pink balls, another freind of mine, who is looking forward to pink balls being introduced, drew some graffiti on facebook for me. Although it will be the white that will be replaced, if at all, she thinks the red will go away as well.

Pink Balls!

The MCC are going to test pink balls instead of the white ones in school, university, and 2nd XI county matches to see if its feasible for them to be used in county cricket and later on in ODI cricket.

The idea behind this is that the pink ball will be easier to pick for the batsman out of the bowler's hand than the white ball. In addition, the colour coating on the pink ball will not wear off as it does on the white one.
Isn't the game already so much in favour of the batsmen? With the pink ball easier to pick out of the hand, it will make the batsmens' life even easier thus tilting, the already tilted balance, more the batsmens' way. Is it necessary?
