On the subject of different cricket balls, it's widely known that the Kookaburra ball gets to the "soft" stage quickly and is easier to belt around from an early stage, which obviously is tougher on the bowlers.
As far as the science is concerned, there are many ways to make a cricket ball reverse swing.
With conventional swing you are generating turbulence over one side of the ball (the rough side) and this makes the air pressure unequal, so the ball moves towards the rough side.
In theory, all you need to do to make it reverse is make it hit that aerodynamic turbulence as it comes out of your hand. Conventionally, this is done with the aged ball, which is roughed on both sides, thus tending to be less aerodynamic, so the turbulence can be obtained at pretty low speed. However, the bowlers action and pace, the weather and pitch conditions and indeed the ball itself can cause this turbulence from the outset. What plays a large part in the movement is the seam. When reverse swinging, the seam directs the flow of turbulent air away from the ball, thus a big hard seam is impartial to both forms of swing.
Going back to my initial comment on Kookaburra balls, the Duke ball is a much more quick-friendly ball, with a much more resilient seam, meaning that the pronouncement of the seam is prevalent for longer, adding to the swing of the ball later in the innings.
In reference to Freddie on this, you would have noticed that there has been little swing for the fast men at the Telstra Dome. Freddie seems to lack the consistency of line and length, subtle changes of pace or deceptive slower ball to produce good results in such hostile conditions, like he has in numerous other places. Possibly, as an all-rounder, he shouldn't be expected to wield so many talents.

What a great match is was yesterday.
All bowlers, except for Muralitharan, were seriously getting hammered. I am happy Gilchrist showed his worth for Australia again. But I hope more happy for Martyn. He is just a class-act. It looks really easy how he gets his singles and doubles, but it isn't. I hope during the West Indies series he regains his spot in the Test side. And I've got all but praise for Katich as an opener. And Symonds was being Symonds. :cool:
About the World XI: Gayle and Sangakkara really impressed. The downfall came when Kallis was involved with two run outs. Kallis could have given his wicket away when Sangakkara came running along, because he was really hitting then. Sehwag and Lara gave their wicket away way too easily.
Akhtar will be replaced with Ntini, but I hope Kallis too, whether he is a great player or not. In this series he hasn't done great things. Or maybe Pietersens strain can let him stay into the starting eleven.

What a was referring to is the Duke ball was trial in ashes with a different core setup, like 2 main cores or something, It was explained all in the first Test.

There isn't anything to experiment really. The team is only assemble for 3 games. But Ntini should get a game based on the fact he hasn't had a game all series and it would be sad for a player not to have done anything this series.

Believe me that team would do nothing. It takes time for the players to get used to each other's method and style of play, and only then is a team plan made. Just by having a team comprising of eleven of the best players in the world, will by no means give you the best team.DS_4_life said:
I would go for a 4-0 win to Brazil against that team of yours, if they played a match right now!
Also what on earth are Kewell, Viduka and Cahill(!!!) doing in your so called World XI side? You can easily have players like Vicente, Deco or Robben on the left.

I guess he is Australian, cause there is no way in hell Kewell, Viduka and Cahill are even in the top 200 Players in the world. Kewell and Viduka are washed up and Cahill needs more experience.

To be honest this series is a laugh a minute cant wait who will take the blame next! I dont stand behind any player if it is my own player, you people are forgetting we are playings as one team so if you do have a personal agenda against Kallis at least show some respect for now!
oh and to make the World XI side better why not just add the whole Bangladesh team to defeat Australia

Well this series was so eagerly anticipated by everyone !!! Did'nt turn out that exciting !!! Perhaps for the Aussies 
: !!! Moreover none of the World XI players has been able to justify his selection although all are class acts in their departments !!!
