NZ pacer Kyle Jamieson explains how Duke balls are 'certainly a bit different'
India and New Zealand are set to play the World Test Championship final in Southampton on June 18. The match will determine the first winner of the Test championship and is expected to be a closely fought match between two competitive teams. The final will be played with a Duke ball instead of a Kookaburra or SG ball. Bowling with Duke balls poses a different challenge to the players but New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson is ready to rise to the occasion. He explained that Duke balls are 'a bit darker and harder' but he is looking to pick the brains of the experienced bowlers in his side to get the best out of it. On his first tour of England, Jamieson would have the likes of Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner, and Doug Bracewell and the youngster can follow their footsteps in order to achieve success in the UK.
"Their experience will be really helpful, from the guys like Tim, Wags, Doug and even Henry as well, who's played a lot over here. There's so much experience around English conditions and what the Dukes ball can do. So I'll try and look and lean on for the next few weeks," ESPNcricinfo quoted Jamieson as saying.
