Big bone of contention, net balls.

About 2 seasons ago, my club must have had about 70 balls in a bag for everyone to use and before winter nets started that same bag had about 8 left!

Thankfully it has been replenished now and is back up to being reasonably stocked but players who hog balls in their bag make me laugh - where do they plan on using them away from the Club???

The ones with a bag full tend to be those that never train either, the numpties!

To be quite honest, I have seen the influx of 'old' cricket balls being sold on ebay of late. Got to ask the question, where have they come from!!?

Black dry wipe pen and stick your initials on the non-shiney side. I'm very anal when it comes to using my balls.

I had a bag full of 20 decent balls last season, they all went missing including the bag- wasn't happy

Over the course of a season we tend to accumulate a lot of used match balls for net use, but then this is countered by the number we seem to lose.

I also like to have a new ball in my bag most of the time so that I can have some additional practise against one and the bowlers get to work on their sharpness with the cherry.

seems like it is a problem everywhere. just seems pointless when the are just going to use it at the club anyway.

I agree with the ebay shout. there have been a number on there. many claiming to live just off the back of a cricket club.
