Reader County Match 'A'

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.
