Hey guys,

If you have played cricket, was it with real ball (requiring pads, gloves, etc) or with tennis ball or the rubber ball?

Played all types.
In Delhi our school had lot of space, including a full sized ground where we could play with pads, helmet, guards and stuff. It's actually very annoying. Limits your movement, sight, everything. In our apartment it was tennis ball cricket.
Then in Bombay it was rubber ball cricket like doc said. Occasionally we would rent out space in Oval Maidan / Azad Maidan near Churchgate to play the real stuff. Wasn't a lot of fun. There are so many groups playing at one time, their ball could hit you while fielding. Crazy stuff. Typical Bombay 'adjust madi' reality.

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.

This ball was a lot of fun. Hitting sixes was very easy. Cheap also. But the bounce was high, which meant that length deliveries would go over the batsman's head. You had to constantly over pitch the ball. I started bowling a lot of yorkers because of this. Short pitch deliveries were out of the question.

In karachi paitoo, when wes were kids almost 40 odd years ago now......We'd take a tennis ball, and get the electrical tape. Wrap up dat tennis ball extremely tight until the tape was gone! and seal the end with fukkin super glue!

It was the best street cricket ball you could think off.

Good ol memories........
