Product Information

As for the red ball, one ball would last equal or greater than 80 overs, and the call to change or continue with the same ball would rest with the bowling team. What is a pink ball? Assuming a full warm up has been completed with relevant stretches the bowler would then be ready to bowl. Repeat the process 1 or 2 times being careful not to overstretch the bowler, being aware of the safe bowling directive as laid out by the ECB.

Pink has proved to have a great contrast for both day and night time games. Pink is also ideal because it has high visibility in all the stages of its natural deterioration. The pink Kookaburra turf ball is currently being used in trials around the globe. Leather is used to wrap both the string and cork. Normally, the leather is dyed red (which shows that it is to be used in test and first-class matches) or white (indicating that they should be used for Twenty20 and one-day matches).

Cricket Balls

Baseball (ball): Traditionally made quite similarly, with a cork centre (today usually rubber) wrapped tightly with string and encased in leather. Unless an agreement to the contrary has been made before the match, either captain may demand a new ball at the start of each innings. Exceptional craftsmanship: The ball is carefully made using top-quality materials, ensuring both durability and consistent performance. The shine comes with extra polish on the surface of the white ball and interestingly, due to this extra polish, the white ball swings more than the red ball. When it comes to the pink ball, there is not much difference from the red ball. Both the balls are used in Test matches with the pink one specifically used in Test matches played under lights. The bright red colour enhances player safety by making the ball easily visible on the field. The surface of the ball provides excellent grip for spin bowlers, enabling them to maximize spin and control.

Widely used by professionals: Many top-level players trust this ball for its quality and performance. Consistent bounce: The ball consistently bounces true, allowing for accurate judgment of its trajectory.The ball is created using high-quality materials that can withstand intense practice sessions and matches. Its construction and design lead to a consistent bounce and movement of the seam, allowing bowlers to analyze their deliveries and batsmen to anticipate movement. On-field umpires are the keepers of the ball. If a player has a problem with the ball, he or she should bring it to an umpire. The five layers of cork are what distinguish Kookaburra balls from other manufacturers. Most of Kookaburras' competitors manufacture their balls using a single molded center. Williamson, Martin (14 August 2010). "The tragic death of Raman Lamba". Cricinfo Magazine . Retrieved 28 November 2014. The ball is not replaced if it is hit into the crowd – the crowd must return it. If the ball is damaged, lost, or illegally modified, it will be replaced by a used ball in a similar condition to the replaced ball. A new ball can only be used after the specified minimum number of overs have been bowled with the old one.

Seam: It is another vital component of pace bowling. In the seam, the ball changes its direction just after it pitches the ground. It’s more difficult to handle seam than swing as a batter, since it is difficult to predict where the ball will deviate. Seam is completely independent of ball weight. Means both heavy & light bowls have the same seam. However, seam depends more upon bowler skill, pitch conditions. If, during play, the ball cannot be found or recovered or the umpires agree that it has become unfit for play through normal use, the umpires shall replace it with a ball which has had wear comparable with that which the previous ball had received before the need for its replacement. When the ball is replaced, the umpire shall inform the batters and the fielding captain. Spin: It is the ability of the ball to rotate just after the bounce. Generally spin is dependent upon pitch conditions & bowler ability, but the lighter ball will spin more than the heavier ball. SInce it is easier to impart necessary rotational force on a lighter ball than the heavier one.(You may have observe this with tennis ball while playing in your streets) Many casual players use a tennis ball wrapped in layers of some type of adhesive tape (often electrical tape), which makes the relatively soft tennis ball harder and smoother. This is commonly referred to as a tape ball. A common variant is to tape only half the tennis ball, to provide two different sides and make it easy to bowl with prodigious amounts of swing.Swing: Swing is a very essential component of fast bowling. It generally means that the ball changes its direction in the air either into the batter or away to the batter. It’s proved by science that the lighter ball swings more & than the heavier ball. But, along with weight, swing also depends upon bowler skill, weather conditions & most importantly ball shine. The only difference is that the leather used to make the white ball is natural and comes in an off-white color. Kookaburra covered the leather with a pigmented pure white finish to make sure that it retains its high visibility through many games. Performance: This ball performs admirably on turf pitches. Its well-balanced weight and seam position guarantee consistent bounce and swing, offering bowlers an advantage in different conditions. It also provides good grip for spin bowlers, making it versatile.

The vibrant red colour of the ball ensures improved visibility on the field, benefiting fielders, batsmen, and umpires. Murzello, Clayton (20 March 2012). "50 years on, Nari recalls near fatal blow". Mid-Day . Retrieved 28 November 2014. Worth noting is the fact that the pink ball is made using the exact same process used to make the red turf ball. The only difference is that in the former, there is an extra layer of pink that is added to the standard lacquer finishing that is standard in all Kookaburra balls. The bowler should feel the difference in pace they can bring the ball through their action and over time this will become faster, without any adverse effect on the accuracy.

All balls to be used in the match, having been determined by the umpires, shall be in the possession of the umpires before the toss and shall remain under their control throughout the match. Follow this by using a lighter ball such as the Lusum Safety Incrediball and bowl 3 more deliveries The diameter of the ball used by females is approximately 8.25 to 8.88 inches (210mm to 226mm) in circumference.
