The cricket ball is similar to a baseball in size and composition, but is sewn in a straight line rather than a tennis ball pattern, creating 2 equal hemispheres separated by stitching.If the ball is hit with the bulged side of the bat, then the runs will not be counted. The ball should be hit with the flat part of the bat for the best distance on a hit. The cricket bat is a large bat made of willow wood that is flat on one side and bulged on the other, for strength.Setting up wickets is described in greater detail at the end of this section. Stumps and bails are wooden pieces that are assembled to create the wicket, one of the most important objects in cricket.However, white uniforms are sometimes used in test matches these days. These days, all teams have uniforms, but in the olden days, all uniforms were white. At the bare minimum, 6 stumps, 4 bails, 2 cricket bats and 1 ball are required.


Cricket requires a few pieces of specialized equipment to play with safety.
