Match Leather Ball

A seam you can feel

The hand-stitched, raised seam gives bowlers a real grip for both pace and spin, over after over.

Holds its shape

A cork-and-string wound core keeps the ball true past 40 overs instead of going soft and lifeless.

Honest off the bat

Alum-tanned leather behaves the way a proper match ball should — true carry, no surprises.

Using it

• Break in gradually with throwdowns before a full match spell.
• Rotate the seam position occasionally during long spells.
• Keep spares in your bag — leather softens with heavy overs.
• Check the seam for lifting stitches before each innings.

Looking after it

• Wipe off grass and dirt after play — don't leave it damp.
• Store in a dry kit bag, away from direct sun and heat.
• Avoid soaking or washing the leather.
• Keep it away from abrasive surfaces when not in use.
