if not Kestral's from Wisdom sports in Haywards Heath are decent. plus if you tell them you're from my club they give us discount (not sure about any other clubs, would assume so)

There normally sold out by the start of the season, every sunday buys a few box's in the area!

I have 5 x pink Tiflex/Oxbridge balls that will shortly be going in the For Sale section, so keep your eyes peeled.

I was looking at ordering a set from tiflex. My eyes will definitely be peeled!

I will get a post up tonight bud. 5 in total. They have 'school competition' branding on one side seeing as they were made for the comp, but obviously that is not an issue.

Not an issue at all mate, I've used the pink schools t20 ones plenty since year 12, plus a few times at uni. If they do a job in a sidearm and are easier to see indoors than red (something I find trouble with sometimes) then I'm not fussed at all.

Oh, and you're not the only one who struggles to pick the red ball up in nets! These balls have amazing longevity as well. Surprised me to be honest!

bump my question... anyone tried this ball http://www.prodirectcricket.com/products/kookaburra-indoor-club-cricket-balls-yellow-73560.aspx?

Either that or something very similar, what are you looking to use it for? They're designed for use in the Aussie style indoor where you bat without pads or lids, so quite a bit softer and lighter than a real cricket ball.

Ahh ok i was going to use it in a proper net, instead of using a proper ball, in hope it doesn't skid on as quickly like a proper wicket?

Not really I afraid, they go through pretty quick when new, bit more realistic off the pitch when they're older but that's mainly because they rough up so much and go slowly through the air too

I want to have all the balls of the same age for the nets as the specific nets we use bounce quite differently according to the age of the ball (in terms of usage). It turns out Vitas sell the triflex in red and pink so have ordered a box of each. A pleasure to deal with as always.

How much were the boxes?
