Get everything you need to play the game of cricket
Like a billion other Indians , i am a cricket fanatic. For those of you who are scratching your head wondering why a billion people like insects - we are talking about the game of cricket. When you live in the US, its hard to find the equipment and many of the South East Asian diaspora may have forgotten what to buy to get their kids started - so thats the goal of this guide.
Cricket bats to get started
Bats: You can buy the bats to play with tennis balls likeĀ the Reebok ones i called out above. These are great for home and yard use and very effective with the tennis ball. Also generally in the 30-50$ raneg so much more affordable.
If you already know how to play well and are looking to play leather ball cricket then i recommend the SG brands that i called out above. Very sturdy , sweet sounding and give the ball a great tonk. Remember that the things with cricket bats is that size and weight matter. Also the shape and how it curves in the centre drivesĀ the power. Finally when you need to start playing you need to oil and stroke the bat first. Which essentially means that it needs to be 'broken' in before you use it in the real game.
Different types of cricket balls
An exceptional game of cricket to get you started.
For those of you not familiar with the game , i thought I'd add a video of the final over of the last world cup final in the T20 format between India and Pakistan. One of the most nail biting finishes in a game. Of course no prizes for guessing who won :-)
