If the 12th man comes on to field, should they wear the baggy green or blue?

The commentators on Sky were discussing it, and i thought id ask everyone on here. Provide a nice break to some of the rubbish that has been posted on here today.

Do you think you need to be in the starting 11 to wear a baggy green for Australia, Baggy blue for England etc?

    The 12th man should wear the baggy blue irrespective of team, lol. Bringing the 12th man on at will is an English trademark.

    On a serious note, the 12th man should wear an unique jersey and not the traditional outfit. Something on the lines of the goalie wearing a different jersey in soccer than the rest of the team.

    Will it serve any purpose? That I can't say. It will probably agitate the batsman seeing the 12th man on the field.

    They are entitled to wear the baggy green if they are chosen as 12th man.

    They should dress exactly as the rest of the team.

    White in this case. There should be no discrimination.
