Seam bowler here. Love the Dukes county balls.  Move for about 20 overs.

Sultan, tried to PM you for a while now, keeps saying inbox is full, could do with some hard balls for training, seconds that aren't soft and can still take to shine. PM with what you can offer

Dukes in the leagues at home, have used the kookaburra over in SA, there is a big difference in the two, the kooka swings for the first 10 overs after that good luck bowlers! The dukes however will swing all day with a little work. Also this may or may not be related to the ball but the theory of ball care was very different in SA, soften and rough up the ball as quickly as possible, different care for a different ball...

Readers in Scotland, switched to Hunts for a season but they were terrible so back to the readers now.

Our junior league(Rugby something District league) uses these terrible pink balls, readers I believe. They hit the bat a lot harder than any other balls i have played with, as well as causing much more pain to the hands when compared to a normal red cricket ball! i can never get turn woth them, absolute nightmare!
Should be banned, absolutely disgraceful balls. There is being cheap, but then there's that!

I would love a Kook Regulation though... Square turn with that! :)

We sometimes use white SS balls for T/20 and I hate them bowling. Don't turn, don't swing - love it batting though, seem to go further :)

Tiflex Oxbridge Buckingham in the top leagues in Cambridgeshire next year, and Tiflex Oxbridge St John’s in the Lower leagues! I can't remember what we used last season but they were awful. They swung for 8 overs then just disintegrated even though they cost about 15 quid a ball. Our 2nd team had too use the same ball in both innings and if you batted 2nd they wouldnt go anywhere.... fortunately we had a good bowling attack!
