 Topic: Indoor Cricket BallsPosted: 14 May 2007 at 10:25pm |
|
Being in Canada, we have to play our cricket indoors more often than we would like. I was wondering what balls you guys suggest we use. We play on a surface thats close to a basketball court and hence cant use anything too hard for a ball but would like something close to the real thing in shape and size with a seam.....just not as hard. Ideally it should less than $10 a ball. Is there such a ball out there?

Try a Readers Indoor Cricket ball. It weighs 4oz and is made of plastic. Although I think it is only available in England, I've never seen one, but I've I heard they are good.

Well it's up to you if you want UPS or the other one I forget the name, UPS is better because your stuff won't get lost, and you have to pay extra depending on size of package to the courier company when they come to your door and my stuff took 6 days.

Yea, buddy....winters are sometimes as bad as -30 or -40 celsius. We can only play outdoors between May and Sept./Oct. but due to the unavailability of the field, cricket season here runs from mid-June to mid-Sept.
Sorry if my last post came off sounding rude.....didn't mean it to. Edited by scuudz - 07 August 2007 at 12:07pm |

Cool, I live in Scotland which is rain central (though not -30!)
We have lots of matches cancelled but were lucky to have good facilities I suppose

Yea, it sucks here. We play our home game on a field made for football/rugby. Needless to say, we have short square boundaries.
