The maker of Dukes balls has entered the debate on the trial use of the Kookaburra ball in county cricket and the ECB’s managing director of men’s cricket to talk about the type of ball he wants to see
Owner of British Cricket Balls warns over ECB rash decisionsThe maker of Dukes balls has entered the debate on the trial use of the Kookaburra ball in county cricket and invited Rob Key, the England and WalesBoard’s managing director of men’s cricket, to talk to him about the type of ball he wants to see.
“I think it’s been fantastic,” Key had said of the initial stages of the Kookaburra experiment, which was first proposed by Andrew Strauss’s high performance review in 2022 with a view to better prepare bowlers for the rigours of Test cricket overseas. “I would use the Kookaburra all the time. English cricket would be much better off for it.”
“We had a bit of trouble with our production processes during Covid and then had complaints that the balls were going soft and out of shape, now apparently the ball going soft is actually a virtue! It’s a bit confusing for us as the manufacturer.
