Title: Balls for practice grays or newberry
Post by: SteffanLangholz on November 28, 2015, 01:16:22 PM
Hi guys

The Danish cricket board are contemplating on swapping balls from grays to Newberry. We use kookaburra turf as match balls.

What are your thoughts?

In the Kent regional league we use readers country crown which is a decent ball holds up well

I have some fantastic unbranded balls for sale. County standard that would be £20 plus with the branding. I'm selling for £10 each with further discounts for bulk orders. If anyone is interested let me know and I will send some pictures.

As it is, I have no jurisdiction on what their choice will be, but they asked me what I thought, but didnt give me a chance to play with it, so useless really. I will take your feedback and submit it to the board.

Our bulk buy would only be for practice, not matches. I really doubt that the board want to shift from the kooka turf.

Please do bare in mind, we only play with white balls - since we all play in colored kit.

I can provide white balls at various prices

The lower priced ones won't be as good obviously, but I have never played with anything as bad as a newbery ball

Grays havnt been good at all this year! Dont last at all! One game i had a ball split on me in the 22nd over! Best ive bowled with is the Kestral, use it for sunday matches. In expensive and hold their shape and shine up well.
