We use a Readers windball, only cost 3pounds.
It's fantastic for the faster of us there is some swing and for my SLA I get some good bounce and turn.

bare in mind only one of us even plays circket for uni, the ball seems to make rubbish bowlers like us a bit more dangrous wich makes for more fun and people get out more then when we used a tennis ball, nufin more boring for backyard criket than when someone wont get out.

This is on grass though, not tarmak.

Tennis balls are useless. I grew up playing tennis ball cricket over a 17 yard pitch, meaning that the first time I played with a real cricket ball, at school, aged about 13, I was entirely unprepared for the speed of the ball. You can't learn to bowl with a tennis ball because it's too light and doesn't carry properly over the distance of 20+ yards and takes spin far too well, meaning the bowler is unprepared for the size of the extra tweak needed to get a real cricket ball to grip and turn. I would urge anyone playing in the back yard with their own kids to use something heavier and harder than a tennis ball as soon as the kids are old enough unless you are playing for nothing but pure fun.]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2006 22:25:54 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=910&PID=30460#30460 Back Yard Cricket : Thats crap.
