Find out which balls have better seams, better leather quality, and better value. Compare brands to find which one suits your preference.

There are three essential things that a cricket game needs to be played: you (the player), your bat, and the ball. The ball needs to have the correct weight or else it will be harder to throw and hit. It needs to have the proper materials or it won’t bounce correctly. It needs to have the correct measurements or else it will be difficult to hold.

Cricket ball reviews aren’t as popular as cricket bat reviews but they are just as important. It, just like other reviews, gives you information that you will need in order to make a decision on which to buy, use, or recommend to other cricket enthusiasts. Important details will be mentioned while some specific ones will be left out. This is to emphasize the key aspects that are essential to a cricket ball but may differ from brand-to-brand.

In reviewing cricket balls, certain aspects will be emphasized. These are: 

• Cost
• Weight
• Measurement
• Material
• Purpose

Cost is the primary aspect that you will most likely look at first. You will want to know if the ball is affordable, if it’s worth the price, and if there are any alternatives to it if it’s expensive.

Weight is important because you will want a ball that you can properly play with instead of just having a heavy ball that you can’t hit or throw. It’s also important because you will want something close to the official weight of a cricket ball to get the authentic cricket game experience.

Measurement, just like the ball’s weight, is important because you will want a ball that you can grip properly. Above all, you will want it to be spherical in shape so that it bounces, rolls, and can be thrown properly.

Material is listed as an important aspect because you will want a ball that is made with “official” materials and not fake ones. This is also to ensure that when you play, the ball behaves as it should instead of it bouncing around the field.

Lastly, the ball’s purpose is important because the review will be comparing “official” balls with one another. It would be unfair to compare a tournament-standard ball to a practice ball. Also, it will show you different balls for different purposes - semi-professional matches, casual games, and practice.

After listing each balls' important aspects, a direct comparison will be done for you to be able to make a better decision on which cricket ball suits best.
