they do last considerably longer.
But they are a tad more expensive. It will never happen anyway. It would be a waste on hard wickets.
it’s more of a perfect world wish

Exactly right. As nice as it would be to have Dukes balls, their purpose is and always has been for turf wickets. Regardless of how decent a cricket ball we use, a synthetic pitch will not ensure the longevity of the pill

 

[Just a smart arse]

How do you guys find the newer pitches with the ball better or worse than the old bouncy ones?

Definitely worse

Yeah I’ve found it’s been very beneficial to sides to make sure they look after the ball. This season might suck in that aspect of things

I haven’t played for a few years now. Don’t think I ever did play on one of the new pitches.
They do look a bit more fluffy these days, not sure if that helps the bowler at all

An absolute gun cricketer and one of the best blokes you will ever come across. Bloke is a deadset legend

 

[Just a smart arse]

Have played against him and his brother when they were younger both good cricketers and blokes hope he does well

Cricket will now start in the 1st week of October. Junior footy to be cancelled as of this week.

 

[Savage RN]

I'd think now with no junior footy, we start normal time, miss the AFL Grand Final weekend, and make up that weekend with a weekend of 2 x one dayers?

That's what you get when you are a shit club, sign shit coaches and have a shit culture. Having said that, United seem to be on the way up. Certainly putting themselves ahead of almost everyone, cutting dead weight and finding quality replacements.
