My cricket coach says the lighter ball is for our "lesser strength," but I have swung it for hours on our colony's dusty pitch and feel it wobbles less in the air, like it hesitates. That means I have to bowl a fuller length and work harder with my seam position to make it talk. For me, the real difference isn't the ball, but bowling with a torn canvas shoe because Appa's auto income this month went to my brother's books—so my footing slips, and my length goes off. Do you also practice with what you have, or wait for the perfect kit?
