FAQ
What's the difference between red and white cricket balls?
Red balls are traditionally used in Test matches and longer formats of the game. White balls are used in limited-overs games like ODIs and T20s. The main difference is visibility, with white balls being easier to see under floodlights.
How heavy is a standard cricket ball?
A standard men's cricket ball weighs between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (155.9 to 163 grams). Women's cricket balls are slightly lighter, typically weighing between 4.94 and 5.31 ounces (140 to 151 grams).
What are cricket balls made of?
Cricket balls have a cork core, which is tightly wrapped in string. This core is then covered with a leather case, which is dyed red or white. The leather is stitched together with a raised seam, which helps bowlers grip the ball and create movement.
How long does a cricket ball typically last in a match?
In Test matches, a new ball is available after 80 overs, though the old ball can still be used if desired. In ODIs, two new balls are used, one from each end, lasting the entire innings. T20 matches use one ball per innings.
What's the difference between two-piece and four-piece cricket balls?
Two-piece balls have two leather hemispheres stitched together. Four-piece balls have four leather quarters stitched together. Four-piece balls generally offer a more pronounced seam and better durability, making them preferred for higher-level play.
How do I maintain a cricket ball?
Keep cricket balls clean and dry when not in use. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Avoid exposing the ball to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
What's the purpose of the seam on a cricket ball?
The seam serves multiple purposes. It helps bowlers grip the ball more effectively, allowing them to impart spin or swing. The seam also creates air turbulence as the ball travels, which can cause it to move in the air or deviate off the pitch after bouncing.
Are there different types of balls for different formats of the game?
Yes, different formats use slightly different balls. Test matches use red balls, while ODIs and T20s use white balls. The construction may also vary slightly to suit the demands of each format, such as durability for longer formats or visibility for day-night games.
How do weather conditions affect cricket balls?
Weather conditions significantly impact ball behavior. Humidity can affect the ball's ability to swing, while the condition of the pitch impacts bounce and movement off the surface. Wet conditions can make the ball slippery and harder to control.
What's the difference between men's and women's cricket balls?
Women's cricket balls are slightly smaller and lighter than men's balls. A women's ball typically weighs between 4.94 and 5.31 ounces (140 to 151 grams), while a men's ball weighs 5.5 to 5.75 ounces (155.9 to 163 grams). The slightly smaller size allows for better grip and control.
