Made To Order "Crown Special" Cricket Balls : Box of 30

Made To Order Cricket Ball Service / Bulk Cricket Balls : Crown Special

We provide a made-to-order cricket ball service.  By offering these on demand and not holding stock for immediate dispatch, we can offer much lower prices than other retailers.

The lead-time is 20 to 25 days so this item is not for a customer with immediate demand.  And there is a minimum purchase quantity of 60 balls so it is also unsuitable for a customer with a small quantity requirement.

All grades of ball in our made-to-order service are available in mens (5.5oz), womens (5oz) and youth (4.75oz), with a choice of red, white, pink or orange.

Our price includes free worldwide shipping.

We recommend reading our "Cricket Ball Buying Advice" as below before purchasing cricket balls from any supplier.

Cricket Ball Buying Advice - "Quality Cricket Balls"

On many online cricket stores and, in particular ebay, you will find cricket balls listed as "Test Match Quality", "Match Grade A" and "Professional Grade" at prices as low as £25.99 for 6 balls, including shipping.   These balls may be described (and stamped) as such but are highly unlikely to be of the construction necessary to perform to the quality claimed.  We can say this with certainty as our manufacturers cannot provide even a low grade ball to us at this price. Such listings will not quote the ball construction - the core of the ball is key for durability and shape retention and is as important as the leather exterior and finish.  Our advice is:
 - ball names, eg Super Test Grade A, cannot be relied upon as an indiction of quality
 - ensure details of core construction are provided and avoid if not stated
 - ensure the ball is compliant with the MCC Laws of Cricket, 4.1, 4.6.1 and 4.6.2
 - a ball of less than £8 (excluding shipping) is unlikely to be of the quality necessary for club cricket
 - a ball of less than £10 (excluding shipping) is unlikely to be of the quality necessary for league cricket (eg UK County / Area Leagues)
  -a ball of less than £12 (excluding shipping) is unlikely to be of the quality necessary for higher grade league cricket (eg UK ECB Premier Leagues)
