#4 Piece Cricket Ball

HART Test 4 Piece Cricket Balls

The HART Test 4 Piece Cricket Ball is made from top-quality leather, and has a cork/rubber core. It provides an ideal bounce and feel, and the inner cups are injection moulded for waterproofing. Top-quality nylon thread is used for thick seam stitching, which makes it durable and adds very little mass to the cricket ball. It is one of the most popular cricket balls on the market today. Here are some of the reasons you should purchase this cricket ball:

Cricket balls are generally heavier than other sports balls, and they often cause awe in people. Unlike other sports balls, cricket balls are composed of four main components: a cork core, layers of worsted yarn quilted together, leather, and linen. They are then finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. There are many different varieties of cricket balls, so it is important to choose one that is right for your game.

The thickness of the seam is an important factor in choosing a cricket ball. Thinner seams are less comfortable, while thicker seams help you grip the ball better. You should choose the one that suits your style of play and preference. Cricket balls should have a good balance, which means they're more durable and less likely to deflate when hit. A cricket ball should also be able to spin in the air without wobbling, and that is a sign of a well-balanced ball.

Test White: This cricket ball is made of premium alum-tanned leather. The leather is selected from only the best hides, and the Test White has already been used in first-class 20-over matches. If you're looking for a high-quality cricket ball, the RJR range is a great choice. You can find these cricket balls at reasonable prices, which will make it easier for you to play your favorite game.

December moments

I managed to use all the prompts in today's chapter: snowball fight - winter sports - snowman - lights - Deck the Halls

Join me at Mrs. Hudson’s who’s got quite the tale for us today.

Fair warning: there's a lot of thigh pinching in this chapter to prevent unwanted chuckles to surface.

December 4

“Come on, John! Mrs. Hudson’s mince pies won’t wait forever,” Sherlock shouts and bounces down the stairs to 221A. 

John chuckles at Sherlock’s excited behaviour and descends the stairs after the madman. 

His madman, mind you!

When he reaches Mrs. Hudson’s door, John hears the elderly woman squeal and cheer with joy. He enters the flat with a gleeful expression and must pinch his thigh hard not to burst out laughing when he realises what all the ruckus is about. 

An ice hockey match is playing on the telly, and Mrs. Hudson is clearly cheering for the team dressed in green and white. John had no idea their landlady was into winter sports of any sort, least of all the brutal game of ice hockey. 

Sherlock has seated himself on the sofa and watches his beloved Hudders with a fond expression. John walks over to the hostess and kisses her cheek in greeting. 

“Hello, dear,” Mrs. Hudson says, her eyes never leaving the screen. The match is almost over, and then I’ll be all yours.”

John takes a seat beside Sherlock who wraps an arm around him and places a kiss on John’s temple. They both chuckle silently when the enthusiastic lady boos the other team, scolds the referee, or sighs exasperated when one of her boys misses to give a player from the other team a blow with his stick. 

***

To both John and Sherlock’s relief, Mrs. Hudson’s team won the match and piece was once again restored. “Deck the Halls” played on the radio, the mince pies were eaten, the sherry was poured into small glasses, which twinkled alluringly when the lights graced the liquid.  

“Have you told John about that time you and your sister got yourself into a snowball fight?” Sherlock inquires. 

“John?” she prompts, but John shakes his head and Martha Hudson makes herself comfortable in her armchair and takes a sip of sherry. 

“Well. This was millennia ago now, of course. Alice and I were making a snowman. We were so delighted that it was enough snow to do it. It had been ages since the last time. Alice put one of father’s old hats on the snowman’s head, when a snowball hit her hand and the hat fell to the ground.”

Mrs. Hudson’s voice gets agitated at the memory, and John finds himself quite fascinated by the whole spectacle.

“Don’t you dare laugh, or she’ll poison your sherry next time,” Sherlock whispers in John’s ear. 

John bites his lips hard to prevent his mirth from showing. Mrs. Hudson continues her story, and John’s not at all prepared for what comes next. 

“It was of course the boys down the road. Twins!”

She says the word as if it’s an insult. 

“Roger and Frank. Two years older than me. Three years older than Alice. Thought they were God’s gift to the female population!”

The scoff and eyeroll the agitated lady produce, make both men in dire need of a thigh pinch to stifle their chuckles. 

“Anyway. They had apparently no idea how good Alice and I were at throwing balls. Our father, who was a passionate cricket player, had trained us well, and it didn’t take long before our hard snowballs found their victims. I have it from good authority that both boys were heavily bruised all over their bodies for a whole week afterwards,” Mrs. Hudson finishes. 

“Bravo, Hudders,” Sherlock says and lifts his glass to salute her. 

John joins them and wonders for the umpteenth time how an innocent looking elderly lady can hide such tremendous depths.

Tagged by my fav moots who I'm not even sure are real cause they're too good to be true @mebiselfandi @thesupermegahell

rules: share the first lines of your ten most recent fanfics and tag ten people. if you have written less than ten, don't be shy and share anyways.

Okay so... while I have written more than 10 fanfics in my lifetime, very few of them are Neymessi, because I've only recently started writing about them. So I'll share lines from those, along with the link and name and pairing, but if I find any other excerpts from fanfics I've written for different fandoms, and they make sense without context, I'll just dump them here without any additional information. Fair warning though, a few of my fanfics are poems, a format people usually don't use for fanfics, so bear with me.

1. you put me on and said I was your favourite — Neymessi.

2010. A friendly against Brazil's biggest football rival, Argentina. Yet, that was the farthest thing from Neymar's mind, as it was currently occupied in its full capacity by the player, or as he'd describe, the magician of his dreams, Lionel Messi.

The man was a miracle, and, as always, Neymar was mesmerised. Messi's pale cheeks flushed red from the sun, his long hair swinging with every swift turn of his, his legs changing directions at lightning speed, the ball glued to his feet as if in reverence. Neymar couldn't believe a mortal had it in them to be so beautiful. Football was already art to him, but Messi's existence, perhaps, was his final bit of proof.

2. Wait for me, will you? — Neymessi.

Rolling river, running stream

I'm a helpless rock on top of a hill

Your current draws me swirling in

Yet I push against its way.

What will other people say?

3. Exile — Neymessi.

Neymar had never put much stock in the inner workings of the colour white. He could vaguely recall from sixth standard, learning something about white light falling on a prism and exploding in rainbow hues. Neither was he the one for academics, nor was his family the one for rainbows, so all he had known, all he had ever seen with those iridescent eyes of his, was life in black and white. The patterns on his childhood football, the one true love of his life, were drawn in the same twin colours. Then why was he, in that one wretched evening, finding the same opposing tints holding his throat so brutally to a knife?

The 30th of June, 2017.

4. 3 times Anto sees the flower blossom (+1 time she waters the plant :)) — Neymessi.

Antonela is standing, unsuspecting, on the sidelines of the Barcelona training ground, calmly enjoying the spring breeze, when a football hits her smack on the face.

Her vision turns black and her legs give away in a wobbly fashion for the slightest moment, before she locks eyes with her offender while still face down on the ground.

"Leo, you bobo, watch where you're hitting!"

Leo jogs up to her and gives her a hand, but Anto slaps hard on his palm, and gets up on her own.

"Not my fault if you're standing in the way, I'm just trying to play football."

5. It was dark.

The inherent calm of the misty night air was turned restless by the buzzing sound of crickets.

Festive lights had been switched off, so had the lamps in every room of the household. Hardly anyone, however, had been able to fall asleep. Only one tiny bulb shone downstairs, in the guest room, where two police officers clad in uniform sat upright in a chair and on the bed, cautiously sipping water from soiled steel glasses. <name redacted> presently stood with a tray in her hand, waiting for the men to return her their tumblers.

"Thank you", they said unanimously while placing their glasses on the tray.

"Thank you my foot", she mumbled under her breath on her way out of the room.

6. Fuck. I was hearing voices in my head again. The lines between truth and fallacies never felt more blurred. And here I was, caught between them both, trying to pick up the last pieces of my crumbling self esteem behind the closed doors of an empty washroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Face full of badly done make-up, smeared with tears; one eyeliner wing looking way different than the other.

7. Long before I knew you

I had gotten used to life in an armour.

Living in a tower, all bricks and concrete

No paint, no lawns, no light, no wind.

All alone.

"Alone's good," I had convinced myself,

Betrayal not likely in a one man army...

But then, I met you.

8. Breaths were coming in short gasps as our faces were inches apart. His black eyes were gleaming blue under some tinted light.

What were words? My head wondered.

All I could see were his soft lips, all I could feel was the prick of his light stubble under my fingertips.

"<name redacted>... I think I love you."

A teardrop or two brimmed on his waterline. A few more creases formed on his forehead.

Just as my right hand dropped from his face, I felt a loss of grip on my waist.

Sooner than I could process, his hold on my left hand tightened and his other hand grabbed me by my shirt.

He stood on his tip toes and planted his lips on mine.

I THINK THAT'S ALL I'LL DUMP HERE! Not tagging anyone because I'm late to this challenge as it is, so all my dearies must have already made this post if they wanted to. But if you didn't yet and you're seeing this, you're tagged! Thanks for reading, hope you had fun. I know I certainly did🧚‍♀️

The Benefits of Cricket Net Practices

Regardless of whether you are an amateur or a pro at cricket, there are certain pieces of equipment that are essential in improving your game… and cricket nets have to be most important practice equipment of them all.

Best Cricket Academy in Pune

What are the Benefits of Having Cricket Practice Nets?

1. Helps with Solo Practice With cricket nets installed, players don’t need to have another person around to fetch the ball for them during a practice session. The nets will block the ball from going further from the player on the field. As such, the player can practice in the comfort of his/her own company for hours without having to depend on others to fetch the cricket ball on their behalf again and again.

2. Saving Time Cricket Nets basically serve as barriers stopping the cricket ball from drifting away on the field. Think about the time you can save by not having to chase the ball down the field every time it’s hit. This allows players more time to practice their swing and technique.

3. Necessary Safety As cricket nets act as effective barriers that block speeding stray balls, they provide the safety necessary during practice sessions. The nets keep the ball contained, thus preventing it from accidentally hitting spectators or smashing windows.

4. Weather Resistant As we mentioned before, most of these nets are highly durable and made from high-quality UV stabilized polyethylene netting material. As such, players don’t need to pause their practice sessions, regardless of what the weather outside is.

The Evolution and Importance of the Cricket Helmet

Cricket, known as the gentleman’s game, is a sport that combines strategy, skill, and athleticism. While it is revered for its elegance and tradition, it also involves high-speed balls and physical challenges, making player safety a critical concern. Among the various protective gear used in cricket, the moonwalkr cricket helmet stands out as one of the most essential pieces of equipment. This article explores the evolution, significance, and key features of the cricket helmet, underscoring its importance in modern cricket.

The Evolution of the Cricket Helmet

The introduction of the cricket helmet revolutionized player safety. Before the 1970s, cricketers played without any head protection, which often led to serious injuries. The need for head protection became evident as fast bowlers began to dominate the game, delivering balls at speeds exceeding 90 mph. This prompted cricketers and equipment manufacturers to develop a solution that could offer effective head protection.

The first cricket helmets, introduced in the late 1970s, were rudimentary in design. They consisted of simple protective caps with minimal padding. Tony Greig, an England all-rounder, is often credited with being one of the first players to wear a helmet in a professional match. Over the years, the design and materials used in helmets have evolved significantly, driven by advances in technology and a growing emphasis on player safety.

Importance of the Cricket Helmet

1. Safety First: The primary purpose of a cricket helmet is to protect players from head injuries. Fast bowlers deliver balls at high speeds, and a well-placed bouncer can cause serious harm. The helmet is designed to absorb and distribute the impact, reducing the risk of fractures, concussions, and other severe injuries.

2. Enhanced Confidence: Wearing a helmet boosts a player’s confidence, allowing them to focus on their performance without the constant fear of injury. This psychological advantage is crucial, particularly for batsmen facing aggressive fast bowlers.

3. Versatile Protection: Modern helmets offer protection not just to the head but also to the face and neck. The grill or visor shields the face from high-speed balls, while additional neck guards provide coverage for the vulnerable neck area.

Key Features of a Modern Cricket Helmet

Modern helmets are engineered with several key features that enhance safety and comfort:

1. High-Quality Materials: Contemporary helmets are made from durable materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), carbon fiber, and fiberglass. These materials provide a strong outer shell that can withstand significant impact.

2. Impact-Absorbing Padding: Inside the helmet, impact-absorbing padding made of foam or rubber helps to cushion the head and reduce the force of impact. This padding is often adjustable, allowing players to achieve a snug fit.

3. Ventilation: Playing cricket can be physically demanding, and excessive heat can be a concern, especially during long innings. Modern helmets feature ventilation holes that ensure adequate airflow, keeping players cool and comfortable.

4. Adjustable Grills: The grill or visor is a critical component of the helmet. It protects the face while allowing clear visibility. Many helmets come with adjustable grills that can be customized based on the player’s preference and the level of protection required.

5. Neck Guards: Recent designs have incorporated additional neck guards to protect players from injuries caused by rising balls or deflections. These guards are detachable and can be adjusted for comfort.

Choosing the Right Cricket Helmet

When selecting a helmet, players should consider several factors to ensure optimal protection and comfort:

1. Certification and Standards: It is essential to choose a helmet that meets international safety standards. Helmets certified by bodies like the British Standards Institute (BSI) or the International Cricket Council (ICC) are tested for their ability to withstand impact.

2. Fit and Comfort: A well-fitted helmet is crucial for effective protection. Players should ensure that the helmet fits snugly without being too tight. Adjustable padding and chin straps can help achieve a secure fit.

3. Weight: The weight of the helmet is another important consideration. While heavier helmets may offer more protection, they can also be cumbersome. Players should look for a balance between weight and protection.

4. Visibility: The grill or visor should provide clear visibility without obstructing the player’s view. Adjustable grills allow players to customize the helmet according to their visibility needs.

For players seeking high-quality head protection, the moonwalkr cricket helmet is an excellent option. Known for its advanced design and superior materials, the moonwalkr cricket helmet provides robust protection while ensuring comfort and visibility.

Conclusion

The helmet is an indispensable piece of equipment that has significantly enhanced player safety in the game of cricket. From its humble beginnings to the sophisticated designs of today, the cricket helmet has evolved to meet the demands of modern cricket. By providing crucial head, face, and neck protection, the helmet allows players to perform with confidence and reduces the risk of serious injury. As the game continues to evolve, so too will the design and technology of the helmet, ensuring that cricketers can enjoy the sport safely and securely. For those looking for top-tier protection, the moonwalkr cricket helmet stands out as a premier choice in modern cricket gear.

RCB 'Fizz'le out: Mustafizur stars in easy CSK win in IPL opener

Mustafizur Rahman set it up with his bagful of cerebral variations before Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube got the job done with their superlative finishing skills to script a comfortable six-wicket win for Chennai Super Kings over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL opener here on Friday.

CSK, who have not lost to RCB at home since 2008, thus kept their enviable record intact.

Mustafizur, with his best ever IPL figures of 4/29 in four overs, was largely responsible for restricting RCB to 173 for six on a good batting track, where a 95-run sixth wicket stand off 50 balls between Anuj Rawat (48 off 25 balls) and Dinesh Karthik (38 not out off 26 balls) was the visitors' only saving grace.

Jadeja (25 not out off 17 balls) brought his oodles of experience just when things could have got tricky in the run chase, hurrying a rusty Dube (34 off 28 balls) into completing some quick doubles to complete the chase in 18.4 overs.       Dube also grew in confidence in Jadeja's company towards the end as he finished the chase in a jiffy.

Credit should also be given to Rachin Ravindra (37 off 15 balls), who teed off in brilliant fashion with three sixes and as many boundaries to set the tone.

Ajinkya Rahane (27 off 19 balls), who had a forgettable Ranji season with the bat, also hit a couple of sixes before a great piece of outfielding by Glenn Maxwell saw his back.

Dube and Daryl Mitchell (22 off 18 balls) were peppered with short balls from Alzarri Joseph and Cameron Green with the latter falling prey to one such delivery.

When RCB batted, Mustafizur brought back memories of his rookie days but an impressive rear-guard action from Rawat took RCB to a fighting total.

Rawat, who initially was cautious, launched into Tushar Deshpande, whose natural length is on the shorter side. Three sixes and a four in the 18th over turned the course as RCB knocked 83 runs in their last six overs. Rawat hit four fours and three sixes in his innings.

This was after Mustafizur took four wickets in his first two overs to reduce RCB to 78 for five.

'Fizz' as he is known in the cricketing fraternity wouldn't have got a first eleven nod had Matheesha Pathirana been fit to represent the 'Yellow Brigade'.

Brought in the Powerplay to stop a rampaging Faf du Plessis (35 off 23), Mustafizur, gauging the pace of the track, didn't keep it too full and bowled between the 7-8 metre length to extract enough bounce to get a couple of dismissals.

Kohli made a painstaking 21 off 20 balls in his first competitive game in more than two months.

Having got to face only six deliveries in the Powerplay, Kohli's first attacking stroke was a pull six off Maheesh Theekshana (0/36 in 4 overs) but he never looked in rhythm after a two-month paternity break as a mistimed pull led to his dismissal.

Rahane had caught it at deep mid-wicket but as he was about slide out, he flicked it inside for Rachin to complete the relay catch.

Mustafizur's best delivery however was one that cleaned up Green when he rolled his wrists to bowl a cutter with a wobbly seam.

At the onset, Deepak Chahar (1/37 in 4 overs) did look woefully short of match practice, as his loopy outswingers got harsh treatment first up from skipper Du Plessis.

But RCB's joy was short-lived as the skipper was caught in the deep after a brisk knock.

Rajat Patidar's (0) wretched run since England Tests continued as he nicked one to Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind the stumps.

The break in momentum for RCB worked in Chahar's favour as a change of ends saw him bowl one that pitched on back of length and moved a shade to have Glenn Maxwell caught behind.

My football correspondent has produced his customary masterpiece of journalism. His appreciation of United playing well for once is palpable, and very good to see.

He makes a different point to me about us being only 3 points behind city. He is 100% correct of course, and will probably finish many more than 3 points behind. My comment is just a little tongue in cheek, but I do think that some of the doom mongers should take it to heart. If they think of how we performed in season 1973/74 they will have a much clearer idea of what “poor play” and “crisis” REALLY means.

My own feeling about the performance is this:

“Rushford and Martial were dropped to the bench. Neither were missed, and from what I have read - and seen on the highlights - the team were much more dynamic without them. I would be very happy if neither of them, together with their mate Sancho ever played for the club again. In my opinion, Pogba and Lingard were the spreaders of a laziness and bad attitude virus that has eaten away at the team - and cost the jobs of Mourinho, Solskjaer and Rangnick - they are gone now, so if we can also get rid of these three bone idle wasters, then I can see the team going places again”.

———

hi - this match used to be one of most anticipated games of the season between the 2 best teams guided by the 2 best managers - nowadays it is a battle between 2 okish sides who have spent a lot of cash without having much to show for it

that said i am pleased to report that this encounter turned out to be one of the most entertaining matches that old trafford has seen in quite a while with both teams deciding that the best form of defence was to attack - in the end united proved themselves better in both departments and deserved to win

after the lifeless non effort at newcastle the reds were bright, breezy, energetic and full of attacking intent - after 9 minutes united won a corner - fernandes was about to take it when the ref was called to look at the tv screen - nobody knew why as there had been no appeals - anyway it turned out that antony's foot had been trodden on by enzo fernandes - probably an accident but the ref pointed to the spot - bruno stepped up but his attempt lacked power and direction and was easily saved

undaunted united continued to press forward (in part helped by chelseas defenders passing the ball amongst themselves in their own area) and following a set piece garnacho pulled the ball back for maguire whose shot was parried out to mctominay who fired a left foot shot in for the opener

a short time later mctominay was allowed a free header from 6 yards -the first effort was straight at keeper sanchez and from the rebound mctominay again hit it straight at the keeper who gratefully dived on the ball

in the meantime chelsea tested united - mudryk hit the outside of the post and dragged a shot wide - sterling set up jackson in front of goal but onana came out to smother - just before half time the silky smooth palmer teased the united defence before eventually drilling a low shot beyond onana for the leveller

united maintained their drive in the 2nd half and after 69 minutes mctominay was found free at the far post by garnacho and the scots header made it 2 - 1 - as usual the celebrations were paused by a VAR check but resumed a minute or so later - shortly afterwards chelsea presented mctominay with an open net but the shot was screwed wide - i kid you not the man could easily had a hat trick and maybe even 4

as the end neared chelsea strove for a point - the ball flashed across the united goalmouth without a meaningful touch - a late header hit the outside of the post - but united deservedly hung on - they'd had 28 shots in total and were the dominant force

so united after 15 matches have 27 points - they've already lost 6 but because like test cricket they don't do draws anymore they are not far away from the top 4 - indeed if city are the barometer of succcess united must be doing alright because they are just 3 points behind last years treble winners - lies, damned lies and statistics

next up is bournemouth who are playing pretty well - which united will turn up ?- hopefully the one that played tonight and away in the champions league - we don't want a repeat of newcastle - by the way it is liverpool away soon - something to look forward to - not 7 again we hope

bye

EIKO 2 - Chapter 4: Ms. Jin

Night had fallen among the Hall household. Not a sound could be heard except the melodic, nighttime chirping of crickets. Everyone was sound asleep, all but one person – Daniel. Daniel rifled through the box of sex toys and other sexual items, smelling the lubricants and trying to pick out his favorite scent. He settled on the strawberry-scented gel and began looking through the sexy outfits he always fantasized about Eiko wearing. As Daniel rummaged through the box, Eiko slowly dragged herself along the bed, clutching her stomach in her hand; she was still in pain from how hard Daniel slammed her onto the bed. She was moving way too slowly to get away, and each time she got a good bit of distance from him, Daniel would grab her leg and drag her back to him. "What outfit do you think would look best on you, my sweet little Eiko? A playboy bunny? A sexy cop? Oh, this nurse outfit looks pretty hot," Daniel showed off the many outfits in the box. "Then again, I don't know. You're pretty, but I don't think you could fill out that nurse outfit the way Jane did," Daniel laughed to himself. Finally, he decided, "Okay, Eiko, put on this outfit." Eiko stopped crawling away and looked up at the outfit Daniel was holding – a red, leather strapless one-piece corset. Black bunny ear hairclips accompanied the outfit, and a black bunny tail was attached to the butt of the corset. Daniel included some fishnet stockings and red stilettos heels to finish the outfit. Eiko scoffed. "I am not wearing that," Eiko began crawling away again, only for Daniel to drag her back to him. "You're going to wear this costume whether you like it or not. I'm not against forcing you into it." Eiko thought about how Daniel had probably forced Jane and Danielle into the outfits he had them wear back at school. She knew he wasn't joking. The idea of Daniel tearing her out of her school uniform like a horny, hungry animal sent shivers down her spine. Rather than let Daniel tear her out of her clothes, she felt she might as well keep the last shred of dignity she had left and change her clothes herself. Eiko sighed; reluctantly, Eiko slowly slipped out of her clothes and squeezed into the corset. She attached the bunny ears to the top of her head and slid her feet into the red stilettos. Daniel licked his lips, "now we're talking," he climbed onto the bed. Eiko's face grew red with embarrassment as Daniel basically drooled over her. Daniel grabbed his cock and swiped it at Eiko, slapping her across the face with it. "Ow!" Eiko cried; the force of his penis slapping her knocked her off her feet.

Once again, Daniel drew his cock back and slapped. He laughed, watching Eiko fumble around with each slap. He opened the lubricant, a sweet scent dancing under his nose. While Eiko lay there, recovering from Daniel's slap, Daniel began dowsing her in the thick gel lubricant. The lubricant was so stiff and thick that Eiko could no longer move; it encased her entire body. She struggled to get up but could not move an inch. Her giant captor loomed over her, stroking his penis as he softly moaned. Be began fondling his balls, squeezing each side of his balls tightly as he cupped them. "god…I've been waiting for this moment all day" Daniel crawled over Eiko's gel-encased body, his cock right above her.
