Funny how some people in county are furious that dibbly dobbler medium pacers are rendered ineffective with this ball as opposed to Dukes. No wonder England isnt producing express pacers or good spinners as well as batsmen who can bat for long periods of the game.

 

Pushing red ball cricket to Early May and late sept means these medium swingers are more effective and batsmen not hjaving peak summer pitches to bat.. and they wonder why English test batsmen and bowlers are rubbish in non home conditions.

It’s a stupid idea. Need to support our own manufacturers. This will kill our own industry.

I think we should try kookaburra in ranji,make the pitches hard and green but not much swing . Duke and sg swings and spins too much.

IPL is white ball. We are already using kookaburra which is not a local brand.

Mate the monopoly SG and SS have taken in the world cricket market esp bats by sponsoring 80% of international players which means indians are paying top dollar for the same stuff compared to 10 years ago as well as people around the world- dont think non SG balls being used will have any impact on them. They are an international brand now
