(heh, heh; that implies that I DO know how to play tennis....) You'd play a damn funny game of cricket with those balls. The seam isn't straight on either of them so you would have no control of the ball during bowling either as a fast bowler keeping the seam perfectly upright to make the ball swing and bounce off the raised seam as the ball hits the pitch...or rolling your fingers across the seam if a slow spin bowler to make the ball rotate and turn right or left so that the batsman misses the ball. Perhaps these two diddles would be more suitable for cricket. .---==---. .------. .' == `. .' `. / == \ / \ | == : :::::::::::::::::; : == | :::::::::::::::::: \ == / \ / `._ == _.' `._ _.'
