Description

Did you know a soda company was named for the amount of fizz it shared with a certain manufacturer’s cricket balls? The cricket ball, which has more of a character of its own and effect on its sport than the balls in other ball games, has gone through quite an evolution throughout the history of the game.

From the vintage red ball used in the early years to the revolutionary white kookaburra ball introduced specifically for ODIs. How has the nature of the game impacted the cricket ball and vice versa?

Host Cyrus Broacha (who loves to talk about balls of all kinds) tells you the history.
