Disadvantages: doesen't swing much

...held it in my hand.The Kookaburra is one of the most fantastic yet challenging balls to use whether you are bowling with an old ball or new. It is one of the easiest balls to control yet it does not produce excess of conventional swing with the new.It is one ball once getting rough will make it not only difficult for the batting side to score off but also making it easier for the bowling side to bowl with thereby making it an even contest for both ...
...ball where the new ball bowlers who normally find it difficult to control a new ball will actually benefit from bowling with it and get rid of the allergy of avoiding the new ball. It is the best way to develop variations with this ball and raise one's confidence level while bowling. ...

Review of Kookaburra Brett Lee Pace Cricket Ball

Dirt cheap, basic, but effective - for certain situations.

Advantages: The price! They are so cheap and you may be able to find discount vouchers online!
Disadvantages: New balls are hard and could damage new bats.

CA are a cricket equipment manufacturer based in Pakistan who retail their equipment via EBAY and via online Sports store, the Sports HQ (www.thesportshq.com). Their equipment is imported from Pakistan and, as a qualified cricket coach, I need to keep a stock of basic junior balls to use for nets and to give throwdown practise to younger players. Sometimes you can find junior balls retailing for around the £4 - £7 price mark, which can be costly ...
...time. The CA Attack Junior Ball is a basic, entry level junior cricket ball, available at just £2.99. It should be stressed that for this price, you are buying a cork and leather ball that is not designed to be used in high quality league matches. The ball itself has a heavily lacquered finish, which keeps the ball hard for longer. We used the ball for 2 hour sessions over a 16 week period and warned junior players not to use new bats until the ...

Review of CA Attack Junior Ball 4.75oz

Good quality at a ridiculously low price

Advantages: Excellent for young cricketers
Disadvantages: Not ideal for high standard match play

...basing this review of the CA Attack Cricket Balls on the junior (4.75oz) version. CA Cricket is a Pakistan-based company, who export their product to the UK. They also manufacture a wide range of other cricketing equipment, from bats to bags, and seem to base their offerings firmly within the 'value' sector. The CA Attack balls were my first experience of the brand, and, being a coach of Under 13 cricketers, I was looking for a number of inexpensive, ...
...in the scheme.) for under £100, these balls are a bargain and come recommended. Beacuse of the highly lacquered exterior, I wouldn't recommend them for match or league play, but the CA Attack balls are perfect for young cricketers and clubs looking for a good value, long-lasting cricket ball. ...

Review of CA Attack

Readers County Supreme

Advantages: Nice for Bowlers
Disadvantages: Terrible for Batters

For people who dont play or follow cricket, then every cricket ball seems the same. However the truth is that cricket balls are all different which can make a large difference. I personally play at club level and have for many years. We used to be sponsored by a local sports club who manufactured their own cricket balls. Now we are being sponsored by readers and have had a couple hundred of these balls delievered. Firstly these balls are prime A ...
...name of the product suggests these are county sized balls, however I arent sure of the exact measurements and weights of them. The leather is extremely tight and has being ironed out to ensure that it doesnt easily crack or deplete. I personally find these balls helpful for swing bowlers due to the leather composition and the soft cotton which has being used for the stitching. In terms of batting these balls are terrible. They tend to swing and the ...
