The sound of leather connecting with wood. The sound of fans clapping. The sound of that well known cricket music…well, actually Eye Of The Tiger when I hit a boundary. This all makes up a small part of the 20/20 Bar Hill tournament.
I’m not going to go into graphic details.
I hit 17 runs.
I took two wickets.
One kid took a hat-trick, (3 wickets in 3 balls).
5 people failed to even score a run.
Pictures.

You can’t see the look on the wicket keepers face properly. But believe me. It’s priceless.

Cork is inside it, if thats what you mean.
The Ball warps when it gets wet, and goes egg shaped most of the time. It may get slightly heavier, but not noticably.

Also, you can't bowl on a waterlogged wicket, the ball gets to slippery and it ruins th bats.
