I've seen a brand new ball destroyed by a Bola. Looked like my dog had got hold of it after a few rounds through the machine.

I've seen a brand new ball destroyed by a Bola. Looked like my fog had got hold of it after a few rounds through the machine.

Your fog? After a particularly spicy curry the night before I presume?

Well I have a bag of old soft cricket balls and they seem to be ok and lasting fine going through the bola machine.  Maybe because they are Softand out of shape they machine does not affect them so much !!
