the best ball i hav used for back garden cricket is the inside of an incrediball. its this dense foam that bounces a lot. if you make a seam on it using electric insulating tape then it swings well and when you bowl spin you get a lot of drift.

We use a Readers windball, only cost 3pounds.
It's fantastic for the faster of us there is some swing and for my SLA I get some good bounce and turn. bare in mind only one of us even plays circket for uni, the ball seems to make rubbish bowlers like us a bit more dangrous wich makes for more fun and people get out more then when we used a tennis ball, nufin more boring for backyard criket than when someone wont get out. This is on grass though, not tarmak. |

my tip a new hard bouncy ball or a ball left in the rain and because of that theres water in the ball its tops like to say I thought of it myself but it came about like most inventions by mistakes. or if you have deep pockets you could buy one of those orange training balls |

You could get one of those Upfront Cricket tennis ball. They spin and bounce like a real cricket ball.
