i think my club would go under at those costs! we play sat and sunday leagues. both with new balls per innings. we have to supply our own ball saturday but supply both balls on sunday for home games( away team get choice). dont really know why. unless we get a home game rained off you still use the same amount of balls lol.

midweek for us is 12 8 ball overs or 16 6 ball overs depending on the league/ cups . only have new balls in the semi's onwards in the cups. can use whatever you want in the other games. i remember using what can only be described as a dog ball at an away game. didnt bounce when it was bowled. middled a full toss that went no where. suprise suprise it was 'lost' during the change of innings and a newer ball had to be used. still rubbish but atleast it bounced and went better off the bat .

mad when you consider those Shamrock balls we used on Sundays were less than a tenner per ball. I'll show you the slaz and DF balls tonight, for the price the slaz in particular could do a 40 overs innings.

Our balls cost £10, but the league has its logo put onto the side(which is a waste of money in my opinion, i'd rather spend money on good balls for good cricket than having a league logo) and the lacquer is thick. Crap balls really, seeming as tho Saturday balls cost the same, not much laquer, wears down at a respectable rate but allows the ball to be worked on.
