It's the hardness of the wickets overseas and less dew on the grass that's why the ball does not last
swing is about the shine on one side of the ball, not really the seam other than having facing up

Sure, but swing relies on the lacquer staying on the ball, humidity and sweat/spit.

I always thought that the Kookaburra went soft quicker in all conditions. Maybe it is just the English weather that allowls for more swing and seam.

Dew doesn’t really come into test cricket? They stop before it becomes a factor and 11am starts negate most of the morning dew.

20/20 finish at Headingley.

Yorkies need 114 of 20 overs.

Shame about the light eh ?

Controversial decision, but the right one to stop them having a chance of winning.

The duke ball is made for the English conditions and uses a grease layer before the lacquer because of the amount of dew and rain in England. The kookaburra ball is made for the Aussies conditions and hot summers

but I think it's more down to putting all the things together at the right time ? Technique and the bowlers release with the knowledge and timing and ball

Wasn’t there a season when they were using a Reader ball and it was absolutely lethal in the hands on the fast bowlers.

Not sure ? But the bowlers are always wanting help from the makers

Do any of you make it to Lanky lads .. hopefully make it to a few games when I’m back from Tenerife ( mid June to end September)

Lancs v Warwickshire tomorrow - replay of last years Bob Willis trophy.
Mixed start so far for the Chanpions.

Honours just about even at the Oval today. Northamptonshire put Surrey in but they finished 261-6, with Burns making a timely 107 and Sam Curran an unbeaten 71. Pope is out sick.

Situation appears similar at Old Trafford with Warwickshire 273-7 after winning the toss.
