A cricket
ball is a hard, solid ball used to play cricket. A cricket ball
consists of cork covered
by leather, and
manufacture is heavily regulated by cricket law at first class level.
In Test cricket, professional
domestic games that spread over a multitude of days, and almost the entirety of
amateur cricket, the traditional red cricket ball is used. In many one day cricket matches, a white ball is used instead
in order to remain visible under floodlights.
The origin of cricket :-
One
origin has English shepherds in the Middle Ages bowling or rolling balls of
rags or wool at a target, often the sheep paddock's wicket gate. Other
shepherds defended it with their crooked staffs. But it is unlikely one single
game evolved into modern cricket.
Edward
II (1300s) and Oliver Cromwell (1600s) are attributed with wielding a bat, and
the first recorded game was in Kent, England, in 1646.
