Good quality cricket balls?
« on: January 10, 2013, 06:54:38 AM »

Hi,

What brand make good quality cricket balls?

Balls are so expensive, but you don't want bat breakers.

I found a 6 pack of SS Club balls, for about AU$60.

I also found out that a 6 pack of Gray Nicolls balls (which are apparently made in India, according to GCCC staff), are $90.

Are the SS Club balls worth it?

Thanks

Kookaburra Zeniths are a quality training ball. They're about $15-$20 per ball, depending where you get them, but they're a two-piece ball with minor imperfections on the stitching; otherwise they'd be marked up and sold as a better ball. I reckon they're worth the money, and I usually buy three or four at the start of the season and keep them in my kit.

Our best selling balls are the Dukes.  They are also the manufacturer of the balls that England use in Test matches, and do some on the county circuit as well.  They've been around for over 200 years, so they've built up a pretty good reputation!  :)
