RESULT Match Ball for 2013 poll- which ball is which
« on: February 10, 2013, 08:55:19 PM »
I have posted a selection of Match Balls I am considering for the coming season. Please pick the ball you would chose for you team in the POLL.  Then have a guess at which makes the balls are, and you could also grade the balls price.  They range between £9.99 and £20 per ball.

Thought it might be best to add some photos taken in daylight.

Ball A


Ball B


Ball C


Ball D


Ball E


Also Not in the poll
Ball F


Ball G

oh.. gutted. Don't want them then. Good balls should last a 50 over game pretty well in my opinion (assuming it's not overly abrasive and it's looked after)

Ball A looks like it defines cricket... The kind of ball you expect the worlds best bowler to have in his hand and a bright warm sunny first session at Lords... :D

Went for ball A from a bowlers perspective. Bowlers prefer darker balls, though not sure it really makes much difference.Wasn't convinced about the stitching on B,C,E. I suspect E might be a decent ball as well, reminds me of a TVL League Ball. Discolouration on D made it look a bit odd.
