‘Dux Ball’ remained the center of discussion amidst the five -match Test series being played between India and England. Team India was seen complaining about this from the first match of the series. Many times, the players of England also complained about the early deterioration of the ball. Now the company making this ball has asked to investigate it. The manufacturer of Dux ball said on Friday that they would investigate the early softening of the ball.
After criticizing Indian captain Shubman Gill and former England fast bowler Stuart Broad, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will return more and more balls to the company that makes the Dux ball by the end of this week. According to BBC Sports, Dilip Jajodia, the owner of ‘British Cricket Balls Limited’, who produced the Dux, said, “We will take these (used) balls, inspect and then talk to the people associated with its construction. We will take steps what will be necessary in this matter. In the review, we will feel if we need to make some changes, we will do it.”
Significantly, during the current Test series of five matches, the field umpires had to change the balls regularly, as they were getting soft (bad) quickly. The ball was getting spoiled only after the use of about 30 overs. This entire process also delayed during the matches. The host board decides the ball used for the Test series. Dux ball is used in England, while Test matches in India are played with SG ball. Kukabura ball is used in Australia.
The specialty, weight and price of Dux Ball
The biggest feature of Dux Ball is that this ball is sewn by hand. The stitching of the hand stitched by hand emerges more and persists for a long time. Dux is made back and forth on the cups connecting two parts of the six rows in the ball, which keeps the ball more strong and maintains its shape and hardness for a long time. If the fielding team takes good care of this ball, then its stitch is clearly visible for a long time.
England’s conditions are more favorable for swing bowling. There are often cloudy, ground moisture and grass pitches, causing Dux ball to maintain its stitch and shape for a long time. So this ball rotates more in the air. However, the skill of the bowler also matters in this.
England’s pitches Dux support the ball very well. This ball also moves in the air and even after eating tappa from the pitch. The main reason for this is its hand -stored stitching. Talk about the price of the ball, according to reports, it is between 10 and 15 thousand rupees. At the same time, its weight is between 155 and 163 grams.
