    My self imposed crap media blackout meant I had not idea about this case until a friend brought this up at a dinner party last night.

    It's all very very odd alright.

    Surely the police have more than nothing ... but are publishing that to keep people thinking about potentially recollecting.

    Either that or it really is a complete mystery.

    Every Dukes ball is handmade by experts and finished with a lacquer that was created by a Jewish man called Walter who escaped the Nazis and made his life in Derbyshire

    Quite cheap for a hand made product, I always thought test quality balls would be thousands. Less than a hundred for a 'counties international' level
