What's new

4th ball used in 39 overs by England! This is unacceptable!

No after he outsourced the manufacturing to Sialkot apparently.

Not really.
The Dukes balls are still made in England but under an Indian owner now.
No wonder the quality has gone down the drain.
He probably tried using the leather sourced from another animal than cow due to pressure of andh bhakkts?
 
3 further ball changes by India this morning. Instantly authorised by the umpires when the ball didn’t go through the ring tool. Thoughts on the ongoing alleged conspiracy [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] ?

I said it in first innings itself Root and Bairstow are in forms of their life and credit to them for playing that way, Eng Aus WTC on the cards at current rate.

Dilip Jajodia has owned the Dukes since 1987. Atleast verify facts before going on prejudiced rants :91:

Yep, and he seems to be adjusting to inflation with the compromise on the quality of the ball.

He brought a shame and embarrassment to a great English brand.

You should be proud of it.

Dukes ball are now made in Sialkot. It was mentioned during the NZ series by one of the commentators.

May be they learnt from the English. But the horse had already bolted.
 
Another controversial ball change leading to a favourable result for Broad and co. That was a ridiculous decision.
 
A few ball changes driven by England and Australia in this series. But for once this wasn’t a team requested ball change.

During a concussion test at the Oval, the umpires saw that the ball had gone out of shape after hitting Khawaja’s helmet, and selected a new one themselves.

It was some kind of magical cricket ball! Still swinging after the 90th over.
