Supernova explosions in PAK cricket have killed all stars...

tape ball cricket is common in pak. not so much in india

you get rubbers balls with seams though. to simulate a cricket ball better some people play on a wet concrete pitch with it

Cheers TO. Nice to hear from someone with some local knowledge.

"There was no pressure on me [to get the record[, but what Mahela [Jayawardene] did well early in the morning is that he put his fast bowlers in, who are very experienced and know how to bowl on such type of pitches. If the spinners had come I would have started from where I left, but Mahela read [the situation] very well and they got success with their planning."


LOL again at this guy again
Now i am going to tell the whole world about my weakness.

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide...

We don't tape just HALF the ball...

I am surprised that it isn't very popular in India.
