A 142g white leather ball for junior white-ball cricket. Four-piece construction with a solid grade 2 core and alum-tanned leather, which means it holds its shape and seam longer than the cheaper two-piece balls most juniors start on.

| Leather | Alum tanned, water-proofed |

| Brand | SG (Sanspareils Greenlands) |
Ball weight is set by the grade or format, not by the child. Check with your club or association, as grades vary, but the standard weights are:
| Level | Weight | Typically used in |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | 133–144 g | Under-13 grades, roughly Year 5 to Year 8 |
| Women's | 140–151 g | Women's and girls' senior cricket |
| Senior | 156–163 g | Year 9 and above, all senior grades |
This ball sits at the top of the junior range, which makes it the right choice for Year 5 through Year 8 white-ball cricket coaching, practice as well as social matches. If your child is in Year 9 or above they need a senior 156g ball.
Yes, for anything beyond a first season. A two-piece ball is made from two leather halves and is cheaper, but goes out of shape faster and the seam flattens. A four-piece ball uses four quarters stitched together, holds its shape through more overs, and gives a truer seam for a young bowler learning to swing it.
Before you buy: some junior grades specify a two-piece Kookaburra ball in their playing conditions. So this SG ball may not be suitable for match use with your club but can still be used for practice and coaching sessions.
Usually yes, if they are playing hard-ball cricket in an under-13 grade. The 133–144g junior weight covers roughly Year 5 to Year 8. Confirm with your club, as some grades specify a particular ball brand.
Yes, but use a separate ball for practice if you can. Throwdowns and net sessions on hard surfaces wear a leather ball far faster than match play, and you want your match ball in good shape.
Most junior teams get through more than they expect across a season. If you are ordering for a club or school, get in touch on howzzat@cricketwarehouse.co.nz and we will sort volume pricing.

I really was specifically wanting the SS Cricket Helmet skull cap which ties with a knot, but that is not what I got. Instead I received 2 DSC skull caps, with no details of where to send if the product is incorrect.
