Is this yellow enough or a more traditional yellow? That is available also plus you could make your own.
Tampering with the game ball is something I can relate to the paid players doing. The same is done/was done here as there. Sandpaper to scuff smooth surface or the strings, petroleum jelly hidden in numerous places to make the ball dance; plain, old spit in place of petroleum jelly; an actual nail file or emery board; various kinds of blades. I'm sure there are more methods. Not happening nearly as often now or just more devious and better at cheating.
I Googled and had no idea how similar a baseball is to a cricket ball. Only a 13g difference. All the talk about altering now makes sense.
Pro baseball uses about 100, new balls a game. Do they replace cricket balls at such a high rate?
