Australian Cricket Starting to Use English Cricket Balls

The video discusses the shift in Australian cricket from using the traditional Kookaburra ball to the English-made Dukes ball, which played a significant role in England's 2009 Ashes victory. This change aims to give Australian cricketers an edge, but it raises concerns for the Kookaburra factory in Melbourne, which fears losing its century-old tradition. The Dukes ball is cheaper, and its adoption could alter the competitive landscape. Currently, Australia is testing the Dukes ball in domestic games, with potential implications for future international matches.
