cricket ball matters a lot
My approach is always to make ideas clear to someone by practical examples .i do like write about things that occur in day today life. As my first post (orkut) was also started with practical examples. Today I was reading newspaper and I was reading about India-oz series suddenly I saw a term “Kookaburra Ball” . So from here my cause to write this post generated.
At international level Cricket there are three basic balls used.
The Duke ball --------------------ENGLAND
KOOKABURRA -------------------- Australia, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Pakistan,
The SG ball -------------------- INDIA
What is KOOKABURRA BALL???
Duke Ball n SG ball both are man made while kookaburra is machine made. The Australians were first to use the machine-made balls, moving away from the costly product of hand finishing. Now a days most balls are manufactured by Australian firms.
The Kookaburra ball swings much more than the SG brand
Duke is a good ball for the game of cricket. It gives fast bowlers a fair chance unlike Kookaburra & SG. Kookaburra is almost useless when it becomes soft while the old Duke ball can be very useful for the bowlers which know the art of reverse swing.
Actually Kookaburra swings more in the beginning but starts to soften after 35-40 overs and batting becomes a lot easier as it seems to get softer and loses the seam. Reverse swing is less than the Duke ball.
Why different ball for same game ??
Indian sports goods manufacturer Sanspareils Greenlands (SG) has been the sole supplier of the red ball to the Indian board for many years, but is now in danger of losing its monopoly following complaints about performance and replacement rates. Many believe the hand-made SG ball offers an advantage to the spin-oriented Indian attack because the pronounced seam provides better grip for spinners.
The seam in the SG ball is upright and very prominent. It stays the same till the 80th over or more. The ball tends to lose shine because of the nature of the outfields we have in India, but the seam stays intact. Because of the seam, the ball tends to grip the pitch and assist in spin and lateral movement.
For a spinner it is essential that the ball should grip the surface. It is fine for a wrist spinner like Shane Warne or Muralitharan. The Kookaburra brand works well for them, but not for the Indian spinners
but then it may not be best suited for Indian conditions. Similarly, the SG brand may not be ideal for use in countries like Australia, England, South Africa or the West Indies. So what could the International Cricket Council do about it?
Basic differences between SG ,Duke and Kookaburra
• The Duke & SG balls are both handmade while the Kookaburra is machine-made.
• The subtle differences are the treatment of the leather surfaces and the height and quality of the seam.
• The Kookaburra is generally redder in colour and swings from the word go, and for the first 30 overs is quite difficult to play against on a helpful surface
• The Duke is a much darker red (enjoyed by the bowlers), does not swing from the start but as the lacquer used on the ball wears off, it swings conventionally.
• Please note that in the Duke ball in the subcontinent and Africa the external surfaces wear away very quickly and therefore it does not last long in the harder rougher conditions.
• The Kookaburra keeps its shine longer but starts to soften after 35-40 overs and batting becomes a lot easier as it seems to get softer and loses the seam. Reverse swing is less than the Duke ball.
• SG retains its seam but can become fat in the hand. The spin bowler can get the grip and purchase he needs from the seam and therefore in India where the pitches turn predominantly they are preferred.
• The Duke ball is excellent for English conditions. Tt starts to shine up after the initial lacquer has worn off. In the swifter conditions it swings and the larger seams are needed for the slower conditions.
