cosco cricket balls ?

aaj kal bhot scene ho gaya hai but, doc, even gali mohalla cricket get these sponsorships.. under lights at randomtrack and field stadiums pe tournaments bhi hote hain

repurposed kar dete stadiums to kinda accommodate

relatively recent phenomenon, good fun

but cricket, end of the day is a 'for the masses' wala khel, aaj kal kids into skateboarding and etc.. urban middil class types, cricket se koi lena dena nahi hai.. they dont even know much about Kohli etc... very strange

at least the latest generation in my family, cousins ke bacchey etc

the other day I'm telling my bhanja ki how Jolly uncle played club cricket with Jeff Dujon in Miami.. ans he's just staring right through me, koi idea nahi, na interest.. cool story bro kar ke chala gaya to his playstation.. I felt beizzati

Ya galli cricket is big. Dunno what the name of the ball is. Let me look for a image.

Ye walla. Red color mein.

Isko Bombay rubber ball bolte hain. Its got great weight and carry and is hard (thick rubber) and has just the right bounce.

Pace waalon se lagti bhi solid hai.

Yup. Played this too. Also heavy. Good carry. But that fuzzy cover is a putoff. Especially when it gets wet.

This side bombay ball mostly used for galli, school cricket.

Bombay ball jaldi phatta bhi nahin hai. Economics matter to kids.

nice, new to me but sahi hai..

normal tennis ball me mazaa nahi aata

proper cricket ball se khelna nahi aata... but a big part is actually the surface, you need a proper pitch for real cricket.

at an old school I went to, they actually got a curator to make a genuine pitch, it was off limits to everyone.. allowed hi nahi tha waha paer rakhna.. killed football

but they dig deep, and put different layers of soil and rocks etc before the top layer.. real cricket ka toh scene hi alag hai. I've dicked around at some nets at what used to be called the Feroze Shah Kotla maidan, now renamed to Arun 'chodu' Jaitley stadium.
