Depending on division and club choice, my league uses both the Windsor (mandatory in top 4 divisions) and the St James. I'm not sure which one was in use against me when batting last saturday, but it felt like a brick coming off my bat.

The orange balls we use in the aero development league are horrible, the seam is way too thick in the middle where the too sides of the ball meet, when its wet they lose their shape really easily and after about 5 overs they stop swinging and rarely spin either they just tend to skid on

We use the Oxbridge Magna balls for 40/40 cricket. Hold their shape well but I find the seam to be too wide for my liking, would much rather bowl with a Dukes but they are just too expensive I believe however I'm not sure as to why the league decides to by Oxbridge.

just had a reply from Tiflex which was fast and appreciated.

The Blenheim falls between the Buckingham and Hampton range so 2 above the Manga.

Here's hoping they are decent.
