FAQs

What are SG cricket balls known for and where are they used in professional cricket?

SG cricket balls are manufactured in India and are famous for their prominent, hand-stitched seam and suitability for dry, abrasive pitches.

  • Official Use: The SG Test ball is the official match ball used for all Test cricket and domestic first-class matches (like the Ranji Trophy) played in India.

  • Key Characteristics: The thicker thread and hand-stitching result in a raised and more pronounced seam than Kookaburra balls. This feature is preferred by spinners as it provides an excellent grip and is crucial for fast bowlers aiming to extract reverse swing later in the innings as the ball's surface scuffs up.

What is the difference between SG Test, SG Club, and SG Leather balls for different levels of play?

SG offers a range of leather balls distinguished by their quality, stitching, and core construction, making them suitable for different levels of competition and practice.

SG Ball Model Intended Use Construction & Quality Key Feature
SG Test Professional/Top-Level Match Superior quality leather, hand-stitched, compressed cork and rubber core. Used in international Tests; designed for maximum performance and longevity.
SG Club Club/School Matches High-quality four-piece leather, good hand-stitching, solid one-piece core (Grade 2). Excellent value and durability for competitive club cricket.
SG Practice/Training Leathers Intense Net Practice Lower-grade leather or two-piece construction compared to match balls. Cost-effective for high-volume practice sessions while retaining a leather feel.


Do SG balls swing more than Kookaburra or Dukes, and how does the seam hold up?

The SG ball has unique characteristics that affect swing differently than its international counterparts:

  • Seam Prominence: SG balls have a more pronounced and thicker seam than the machine-stitched Kookaburra, which gives bowlers a better early grip and helps with initial seam movement.

  • Swing Profile: While the English-made Dukes ball is renowned for conventional swing in the early overs, the SG ball is specifically valued for facilitating reverse swing on drier, abrasive pitches (common in India) after the ball has worn down, due to the prominent seam and rougher surface.

How many overs can a SG Test ball typically last in a competitive match before needing replacement?

In first-class and Test cricket, the SG Test ball is mandated to be used for a minimum of 80 overs before the fielding captain has the option to take a new ball.

  • Durability: Due to its premium leather and hand-stitched, thick seam, the SG Test is engineered to maintain its shape, hardness, and seam integrity to last the full 80 overs, despite the abrasive conditions it is often exposed to.

  • Performance Change: Over the 80 overs, the ball transitions from offering conventional swing when new to enabling bowlers to generate reverse swing as one side gets rougher and the other is shined, which is a key tactical element of cricket in India.
