Spin: It is the ability of the ball to rotate just after the bounce. Generally spin is dependent upon pitch conditions & bowler ability, but the lighter ball will spin more than the heavier ball. SInce it is easier to impart necessary rotational force on a lighter ball than the heavier one.(You may have observe this with tennis ball while playing in your streets) With a weight of 156-164 grams, the ball provides the perfect balance for bowlers to achieve swing and seam movement. This adds an extra challenge for batsmen and enhances the excitement of the game.

The shine comes with extra polish on the surface of the white ball and interestingly, due to this extra polish, the white ball swings more than the red ball. When it comes to the pink ball, there is not much difference from the red ball. Both the balls are used in Test matches with the pink one specifically used in Test matches played under lights.As for the red ball, one ball would last equal or greater than 80 overs, and the call to change or continue with the same ball would rest with the bowling team. What is a pink ball? The five layers of cork are what distinguish Kookaburra balls from other manufacturers. Most of Kookaburras' competitors manufacture their balls using a single molded center. Seam: It is another vital component of pace bowling. In the seam, the ball changes its direction just after it pitches the ground. It’s more difficult to handle seam than swing as a batter, since it is difficult to predict where the ball will deviate. Seam is completely independent of ball weight. Means both heavy & light bowls have the same seam. However, seam depends more upon bowler skill, pitch conditions. Swing: Swing is a very essential component of fast bowling. It generally means that the ball changes its direction in the air either into the batter or away to the batter. It’s proved by science that the lighter ball swings more & than the heavier ball. But, along with weight, swing also depends upon bowler skill, weather conditions & most importantly ball shine. The ball, when new, shall weigh not less than 5.5 ounces/155.9 g, nor more than 5.75 ounces/163 g, and shall measure not less than 8.81 in/22.4 cm, nor more than 9 in/22.9 cm in circumference.

In a match of more than one day’s duration, the captain of the fielding side may demand a new ball when the number of overs, excluding any part overs, bowled with the old one is equal to or greater than 80 overs.

Just recently, the pink ball was used in the first test match under lights between New Zealand and Australia at the Adelaide Oval in November 2015. In fact, there is no other ball that has been through the same number of trials and testing like the pink ball. The diameter of the ball used by females is approximately 8.25 to 8.88 inches (210mm to 226mm) in circumference.

Consistent bounce: The ball consistently bounces true, allowing for accurate judgment of its trajectory. Kookaburra also manufactures balls that are suitable for indoors and junior games.
