How much is the dukes ball? Our league may try new vendor next year so I am really interested to know about it.

This is the one we use, very very good. Is still swinging if looked after at 45 overs and in decent nick. Seams about for a while too. Stays hard and tends to not go dog ball like. Odd ones do obviously same as everything else

The difference in quality is a disgrace.
It shouldn't be possible to buy bat breaking balls,

Three of my bats broken in two seasons, I've seen countless others on opposing teams
Then there's the damage to hands etc from fielding these rocks, never mind the stupid early swing, then the ball falls apart

My bat's only been used about 5/6 times and its already looking like it'll break, bad quality balls are to blame. Its a good thing its only an entry level bat, i'd be going mad if it was a high grade bat.

We've known how to make decent quality balls for as long as we've known that we need to make bats out of willow, surely it can't be that hard to make a decent balls for a reasonable price.

If you watch any ball making video on you tube, you'll see how labour intensive it is and realise why the price is so high.
