What is the difference between a 4 piece cricket ball and a 2 piece cricket ball?
967826
Quality basically.\n\nA 4-piece ball is more resilient and will tend to hold its shape better than a 2-piece.\n\nTest and county matches will always use a 4-piece ball.

Pollock ...just guessing. I think he took 4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls in his first county match.

A Cricket bat is wide like a plank...with a handle at its end, and its much heavier than a baseball bat, and in Cricket the lighter the bat, the better it is. But Sachin Tendulkar(considered by many as the Best Batsman Alive) uses the heavist bat in International Cricket.It can weigh anywhere between .05kg to 3-4 kgs.\nMost bats are made from English Willow which by nature is a soft fibrous wood. \nStarter and particularly smaller Junior size bats tend to utilise more lower priced Indian Kashmir Willow... this is harder and therefore more resilient but generally gives less ball striking satisfaction.\n\n\n A baseball bat is lighter and is shaped like a barrel, that tapers at the end...\nAluminum baseball bats are generally preferred to wooden bats due to their light weight and high strength (note: pro players are allowed to use wood bats only). \n\nBaseball bats are measured using their length to weight ratio,  a negative number that represents how many ounces a bat weighs compared to it's length in inches. For example, a 32 inch bat that weighs 28 ounces is a - 4. The largest ratio is in the range of -12 (for little league bats), while college and high school bats are restricted to a - 3. These restrictions are for safety reasons - a college or high school player swinging a very light bat (- 4 +) would simply have too much power and could pose a danger to other players on the field.

The three sizes that are used for play in adult slow pitch softball are 11", 12" and 16".  The 11" ball is a little bit harder and is used in women's play and by women on coed teams.  The 12" ball is used in men's play.  The 16" ball is used in areas where the fields are small (ball doesn't travel as far when hit), like big cities (Chicago for sure).  Hope this helps.

A 4-seam fastball tends to rise in the strikezone while a 2-seam fastball has more of a sink to it

Cricket is a team sport. The team which scores the most amount of runs, and gets the other team out, wins. Nothing simpler.\n\nThere are two forms of the game:\n\n1) Test cricket—which takes place over five days. Think of it as akin to the novel with all the running dramas, climaxes, anti-climaxes, intrigues and counter-intrigues of that artform. Test cricket is the original and only true form of cricket.\n\n2) Pyjama or One-Day cricket—the shortened form. It is to test cricket as a bad TV advertisment (wheredyagedit?) is to a superb film. Loud, noisy, predictable, wholly lacking in subtlety and eye-jarringly colourful. To be watched only if there is no test cricket available.\n\nFor obvious reasons, I will largely be discussing test cricket.\n\nCricket is played on an oval. A large expanse of green grass usually surrounded by a white picket fence. The grass is kept at a specific height by the groundsman. In the centre of the oval is the cricket pitch (or wicket) which is a strip of paler grass. The wicket (or cricket pitch) is also carefully presided over by the groundsman, but once the game begins grass is left to grow and the wicket to deteriorate. Thus the conditions for playing change over the five days of a test. The condition of the oval and pitch has a large effect on whether the cricket played on it will be high or low-scoring. Some afficionados argue that the groundsman is the most important person in cricket. I think this is going a tad too far.\n\nAt either end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) are the stumps (or wicket). The stumps are a wooden constuction of three stakes (Buffy would have plenty of weapons available should she have to deal with a nest of vampires while attending a cricket match) impaled in the ground, with two smaller pieces of wood, known as the bails, balanced on top. In front of these stumps (or wicket) at either end is a white painted line which marks the crease.\n\nTwo teams of twelve people play (though the position of the twelfth man is that of gofer. They don't actually play unless one of the fielders needs to leave the oval for a short amount of time). The two teams take turns fielding and batting. In test cricket each team has two innings. In pyjama (or one-day) cricket they have one innings each.\n\nThe team batting has the job of protecting the stumps (or wicket) and trying to score runs. Two batsmen at a time are on the field (unless one of the batsmen is injured in which case they have a runner and there are three batsmen on the field). One batsman is at either end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) defending the stumps (or wicket) and trying to score runs.\n\nRuns are scored by hitting the ball (made of cork covered with red leather) with a cricket bat (traditionally made of willow—thus the expression "the glorious sound of leather on willow" which sound dirty if you're thinking of a certain character from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and running up and down the cricket pitch (or wicket). Although only one batsmen can hit the ball at any one time, both must run and get safely behind their crease. If the ball is hit all the way to the boundary (typically a thick white rope, not the fence) it is deemed to be four runs. If it is hit over the boundary it is six runs. The batsmen need not run for these boundaries.\n\nOnce a batsmen has run safely from one end of the cricket pitch (or wicket) to the other they have scored one run for themselves and also for their team. The batsman who is facing the bowling is said to be on strike. You do not have to hit each ball. You do not have to run if you do hit the ball. Hitting the ball to the boundary is the most efficient way of making runs because you accumulate runs faster and you don't have to exhaust yourself running.\n\nGetting fifty runs is good for an individual batsman, getting one hundred (or a century) is better, and getting more still is even better. The most amount of individual runs ever was 380 scored by the A

20 overs a side match. More or less similar to ODI (50 overs a side). Fielding restrictions are a bit different.

The difference between finger spinner and wrist spinner are give below:\n\nFINGER SPIN.\n-------------------\nFinger spin is a style of bowling in the sport of cricket. It refers to the mechanical technique and specific hand movements associated with imparting a particular direction of spin to the cricket ball. The other spinning technique, used to spin the ball in the opposite direction, is wrist spin.\n\nFinger spin is bowled by releasing the ball from the front of the hand, so that it passes over the index finger. Done by a right-handed bowler, this imparts a clockwise rotation to the ball, as seen from the bowler's perspective; a left-handed finger spinner rotates the ball anticlockwise.\n\nAlthough the biomechanical details of finger spin are the same for right- and left-handed bowlers, such bowlers are often discussed separately, as the direction in which the ball deviates as it bounces on the cricket pitch is different:\n\nRight-handed finger spin is more commonly known as an off spin. \n\nLeft-handed finger spin is more commonly known as a left-arm orthodox spin. \n\nWRIST SPIN\n----------------- \n\nWrist spin is a style of bowling in the sport of cricket. It refers to the mechanical technique and specific hand movements associated with imparting a particular direction of spin to the cricket ball. The other spinning technique, used to spin the ball in the opposite direction, is finger spin.\n\nWrist spin is bowled by releasing the ball from the back of the hand, so that it passes over the little finger. Done by a right-handed bowler, this imparts an anticlockwise rotation to the ball, as seen from the bowler's perspective; a left-handed wrist spinner rotates the ball clockwise.\n\nAlthough the biomechanical details of wrist spin are the same for right- and left-handed bowlers, such bowlers are often discussed separately, as the direction in which the ball deviates as it bounces on the cricket pitch is different:\n\nRight-handed wrist spin is more commonly known as a leg spin. \nLeft-handed wrist spin is more commonly known as a left-arm unorthodox spin or Left-Arm Chinaman. \nNotable wrist spinners are Muttiah Muralitharan ( both wrist and elbow spin ), Shane Warne, Abdul Qadir, Danish Kaneria and Richie Benaud.\n\nThe full range of deliveries in a wrist spinner's arsenal are:\n\nLeg break \n\nGoogly \n\nTopspinner \n\nSlider \n\nFlipper \n\nMore details required, if any, please check the following website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_%28cricket%29

I don't know but the only difference is that they have a better grip for when you insert it and that it's stronger (like SUPER tampons but not as big).\n\nhttp://www.playtexsport.com/

There are many different specification for a baseball. A Major League Baseball starts off with a cork, red rubber, black rubber, 3-strand, 4-strand, 3-strand wool, some cotton and so on. The coefficient of restitution, seam height and so on all are part of the spec.\n\nHowever, a baseball used in little league has different specs, a college ball has different specs, and so on and so on.\n\nThe quality of the leather, the rubber, the wool vary from ball to ball.\n\nThe numbers indicate which version or specification the ball was made to. In some cases it might mean the run number for a set number of balls.\n\nNote, little league balls have high seams, high school balls the seams are lower, college they are lower, (I have seen semi-pro balls with big seams and with low seams), major league have the smallest seams heights in my experience.

Not a chance! Most fast bowlers bowl faster than a softball pitcher and a cricketball is harder than a softball so unless you have a real shitty bat theres no problem! Trust me Im Australian and I play cricket and baseball....
