SG, Kookaburra or Duke Balls - Which one to use

BCCI (Board for Cricket Control In India) will soon be talkin with capatin of the state teams and Indian team players specially ZAheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh to decide if they can replace the SG balls by either Kookburra or Duke balls. India is the only country in the world where SG balls are used both in domestic and international test matches.

Apart from SG balls two other brans of balls used in test match cricket are Dukeand Kokkaburra. Duke is used only in England and Kookburra is used in all other parts of the world including Australia. Reason why the bvoard is looking for replacing the SG balls with others is the SG ball's declining quality. However ball is favored due to tis early reverse swing capabilities and better hold for spinners.
