The Cricket Ball in the Sport of Cricket Cricket is one of the most exciting sports in the world. It is played in most countries around the world. Cricket is not as popular in the United States, but it is the most popular sport in countries like India, England, and Australia. To popularize cricket in America it is necessary to describe its equipment and the game itself. One of the most important equipment of this wonderful game is the cricket ball. The cricket ball is a little smaller than a baseball. It has a round shape, smaller than an average-sized man's wrist. A cricket ball is made of a cork core, over which a tightly wound string is layered. It is covered by a leather case with slightly raised seam. The covering is made of four pieces of leather shaped like the peel of a quartered orange. A cricket ball has only one seam. The equator of the ball is sewn with string to form the seam, with a total of six rows of stitches. The remaining two joints between the leather pieces are left unstitched. The ball has a circumference of approximately nine inches and weighs only between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces. The surface of the ground on which the cricket ball is bowled is very important for the performance. This ball bounces a lot on a dry/hard pitch due to its hardness. However it is the opposite, if the pitch is wet/humid, the ball loses its bounce. Weather is also a very important factor in the behavior of the ball. In sunny weather the ball doesn't do much, but if it's windy the ball swings a lot in the air. Therefore, when the weather is bad, this ball sometimes becomes impossible to play. The most dangerous thing this ball does is "Swing". Swing that is achieved by keeping one side of the ball shiny, smooth and shiny and keeping the other side rough, and throwing the ball with the shiny side forward and the seam angled in the direction of the desired swing. There are two types of swings in cricket. The outside swinging ball moves away from the right-handed batter, while the inside swinger moves towards him. Normal oscillation is achieved by maintaining laminar boundary layer airflow on the bright side while creating turbulent flow on the seam side.
