Cricket ball

A cricket ball is the official ball used in the sport of cricket. It is round, typically made of a cork core wrapped in layers of string and covered with leather, giving it durability and a shiny surface. Weighing between 155.9 and 163 grams, it is slightly smaller than a baseball but denser. The ball is crucial for the game, as it is bowled (thrown) to batsmen, who attempt to hit it. It can be bowled at high speeds and is designed to maintain its shape, allowing for various playing techniques and strategies throughout a match.
