Answer: The ball burst in both matches
The ball burst in both finals, an event which has not happened in any other final. The reason mostly attributed to this was the poor quality of materials available for manufacture of sports goods after the years of wartime hardship. It is unlikely that, even in the event of it happening today, it would cause any problem. In 1946 and 47, only one ball was available. Today, up to twenty balls can be used in a major match, all checked out beforehand. This is intended to prevent delays at restarts when the ball may be booted out of the ground by over-vigorous defenders.
