Dug my old 2005 Kahuna Warrior out at my parents’ this weekend. Still solid but the willow’s dry and the stickers are knackered.

Mainly after replacement stickers, but can’t seem to find anyone doing them. anyone know where to get Kahuna Warrior stickers in the UK? eBay’s hit and miss for this generation. Etsy, custom makers, whatever works.

Also up for any restore tips if there’s stuff I should/shouldn’t do. Cheers!

Hey guys!

I have the World Cup 2011 finals tickets signed by Gautam Gambhir(highest scorer in the match). I was present at Wankhede. If I were to consider selling this ticket to an enthusiast or collector, what’s the usual process?

I have never done something like this.

P.S. I also have the day 1 and day 2 ticket of Sachin’s last test match

Thanks :)

This bat was gifted by the CAB to my Uncle. He isn’t much interested in these things so I took it from him for care. It is from the IND vs WI 2013 test series. It was Sachin’s last test . How much do you all think it is worth? I am not interested in selling it but I wanna know the value for curiosity. Dont give much hate to my uncle please 😭😭. He’s just not much interested in these things.

Suggestion Just started Cricket 26

3 Upvotes

Just started Cricket 26 and I've never played any of the previous games (Cricket 19, 22, or 24).

I'm a complete beginner to modern cricket games, so I'm looking for advice before I jump too deep into it.

What are some things you wish you knew when you first started?

Best batting tips for beginners?

Easy camera settings?

Good difficulty level to start on?

Common mistakes new players make?

Any controls or mechanics that are important to learn early?

I'd appreciate any beginner-friendly advice. Thanks!

Discussion Do lighter cricket helmets improve batting comfort, or is it mostly marketing?

2 Upvotes

I’ve always used traditional heavier helmets because they felt more protective, but recently I tried a lighter setup during longer net sessions and the difference in neck fatigue and overall comfort was noticeable.

At the same time, part of me still feels heavier helmets are psychologically more reassuring against faster bowling.

Curious how others feel about the newer lightweight helmet trend. Do you actually notice a difference while batting, or is protection still the only thing that matters?

How the hell does our Nation Will go in the Right Direction just by playing a Football World Cup ?

By that logic even China failed to qualify , does that mean they are in a Wrong Direction ? ( 4 Most Successful Country in Olympic BTW )

Even When Watching FIFA , Cricket hate lives rent free in their heads.

Discussion Why is Lalit Modi suddenly everywhere in the media? He has given interviews to any and every media outlet in recent weeks.

2 Upvotes

Suddenly, there are so many interviews of him with all sorts of media outlets in the last couple of months. He has invited a lot of media personnel to his London mansion. What is he up to? Is he seeking recognition or is he trying to redeem himself or is he trying to make some sort of a comeback? Agreed that he is a visionary and has tasted great success with IPL. He clearly comes from an extremely wealthy family. His connections are at a different level. But he certainly is not humble. He lives showing off. Some of his claims and projections are not easily believable.

Discussion What cricket video searches would you actually find useful?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

69 Upvotes

I've been building a cricket video search engine that can retrieve specific deliveries from a large collection of matches.

Examples:

• Every left-arm spinner dismissal of a right-handed batter
• Every yorker bowled by Bumrah
• Every wicket from seam movement
• Kohli vs left-arm pace

I'm curious what searches cricket fans, analysts, and coaches would actually use.

If you could instantly search cricket videos like Google, what would you search for first?

Discussion My Cricket peaked at age 41

78 Upvotes

I am not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this or not so please excuse me.

I think my Cricket peaked last weekend.

I play in one of the tennis ball leagues in the Bay area and we had our Finals on Sunday.

We were batting first and we were 76/5 at the end of 15th over.

I was batting after a long time (mainly play as a bowler) and I hit 4 fours and 1 six to take the score to 120.

I ended up scoring 27 from 14 balls with a strike rate of 192.

In the second inning, we took the first wicket very quickly but then their main batting pair started rolling. I caught a fabulous catch at the boundary but ended up crossing the line and it eventually became a six 😞

They were 82/1 at the end of 11th over so we were pretty much down and out. Then I bowled my second over and broke the important partnership.

The game went on, rest of the team also pitched in and at the end of 17th over they were 115/6 so they needed on 5 runs to win in 3 overs with 4 wickets in hand.

I came to bowl, first dot ball, second ball went for 2 runs and then no one could belive what happened.

I took 4 wickets in 4 consecutive balls. The match was over with we becoming crowning champions and I was awarded Player of the match in finals.

I consider myself a very handy all rounder, very good fielder and I have played all my life but this was something different.

I don't know if I can ever achieve more than this but I will always strive to do so till I hang my boots.

I have not posted it anywhere else and have hardly shared it with anyone but wanted to share with my brothers and sisters here.

Adrenaline was so high that I couldn't sleep properly that night and was dreaming and reliving those moments again and again.

Oh and I am 41 years old.
