I've always found that Dukes balls swing, seam and retain their shape well thorughout 45 overs so I would choose balls E or H.

H was the same ball as F, just made as mistake in my hast to post the thread.  Poor thread management.   Sorry.

From a bowler perspective, Ball D is good. The shape looks like it will be a good ball for swing bowling.

A lot of people plumping for ball A, I used one last season and it was awful! One of the least spinner friendly balls I've used and didn't seem to give a lot of movement for the seamers either. But then that may just have been that one ball...

We trailed them I though they where poor too for bowlers hardly moved either of the pitch or in the air we used them for a month then back to readers

I always thought they where cheap balls

So has anyone actually found a league ball that keeps it shape, lasts for 50 overs and will swing all innings if looked after etc..


Seems very rare.

We use the dukes special crown match, and if looked after and if the pitch isn't too abrasive it will last the 50 overs per innings with a bit of shine, good shape and hardness.
Probably the best ball of those pictured I reckon.

We used both the Tiflex Buckingham and Blenheim last year.  The Blenheim was the better ball. Also used the X-grade Ambassador which went very well.
