@Boondougal Absolutely come along and watch mate, a few nice bars at the grounds we'll be playing at too.

I'll dig a shirt out, keep those tweakers ticking over, i'm sure we'll need you at some point!

Yes Jake, love em! Don't know why every evening game UK wide isn't pink ball mandatory...

I agree on the pink ball for mid week games but my goodness they are bat breakers

our club uses a pink ball for a lot of midweek games. only play in whites still unless its the LMS, do agree they are rock hard

cheap pink balls are hard i agree, just like cheap red ones are.

Of course the majority of leagues/clubs have put price aead of quality when it comes to balls. The tiflex magna in pink is a ball we regularly recommend but gets turned down in favour of terrible balls for a saving that equates to about 40p per player per game based on a ball for each innings.

Not all pink balls are born equal.

Orange does a similar thing to pink, i think pink does it better though.

Never used a yellow ball outside.

From the boundary you can hardly the difference between the Orange and the Pink balls, but the pink seemed to retain its colour better.

We used hunts' orange balls a couple of year back. We actually seemed to struggle a bit with it in the field, as in picking up the movement/bounce etc and seemed to react differently in the field. Oh, and it also pinged like a $%�&^$�"�"^&^& off the bat and scuffed up quick enough in a T20 innings.

In the Kent league on a Sunday they used to use Orange balls as a trial. This is going back about 12-13 years though. @SOULMAN1012 might have been a part of this too? It was designed as an U21 competition and the Orange balls hooped everywhere!

Even until last season we used the orange balls in the aero development league, its stupid at the start of the innings the ball swings so much can't nick off if you tried, even after 20 overs still swings round corners, Also hard as nails these balls

Fair play. I have been out of the county for about 10 or so years but glad to see sunday league is still running even though the orange ball is crazy at the start. Does it still have the youth focus with 'x' amount of players having to be under a certain age?

Yea still does mate has to be 6 I believe under 21 and 2 of those under 18 but don't quote me on that.
I'm also no longer in Kent and now live in Suffolk so will be playing my cricket in the East Anglia league I believe
