Reddit mentions: The best cricket equipment

I would suggest you to buy a mid grade cricket bat and a hanging ball like this to start with.
hope you find a suitable place which allows you to practice freely without restrictions. Something like a football goal post ( but much taller) would be great. This will help you in meeting the ball regularly and not be a complete novice. But please note this is only for you get used to steering the ball in the direction you want.

One disadvantage is, this will not prepare you for steep bounce or spin.

But couple of tips I would suggest is, after you are better with this setup, wear a cap with the flap in such a way that it blocks out your field of view until the ball is very near to you. Also, can have some one throw the ball at you at close quarters. Will improve reaction times.

Adjusting height the ball hangs from the ground will give practice for different lengths.
Helped me greatly during my school years without bothering anyone.

Buy a Cricket Bat from your local Indian store or Amazon, don’t spend a ton, but make sure you buy a wooden bat.

Instead of tennis ball if you get these, they’re awesome Pro Impact Cricket Balls (Blue Windball (6 Balls)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2QDJRK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PPojDbPG6GX87

Additionally
Stumps (when you want to advance from chair)

I find these are perfect for backyard play with my kids. It's made of plastic'y material, hollow inside and perfect for playing on a firm surface. You can hit it fairly hard with a bat without sending it out of the ground every time (like the "cricket tennis balls").

The zombies ate my brains yet I was able to come up with a couple items:

• Cricket Bat - not necessarily unusual thanks to Shawn of the Dead, but unusual to own in the US. Would be great for smashing heads.
  
• Sickle - not quite as good for range, but would be good for beheading.
  
• A Spear would be good to keep them at range and run less risk of a bite.
  
• You could be a badass like Tyrese in the Walking Dead comic and use a regular old Claw Hammer
  
• Some leather forearm guards would be good for reducing your chance of a bite while using any melee weapons.
  
• You could also go all Dead Rising and carry around a stack of traffic cones to slap on their heads...
  
  Gotta get back to work, but thanks for this it was amusing...

if you feel if the ball is too light, try wrapping another layer of electric tape, that's what we used to do.

edit: but if you want a better tennis ball to play cricket with go for these http://www.amazon.com/Mani-Tennis-Cricket-Ball-brand/dp/B00A64CQMK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1397147102&sr=8-6&keywords=ca+cricket+balls.

Yes, definitely soon. I need the exercise. Just let me know when you guys play and where.

I got these a few years ago to practice with.

You forgot one thing. A rubber band to tie your beard up! Not many people are aware of the heavy bolt. Pricey but worth it. Did you try el- china recoil pad for AR for $9? Might help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LU8CN1K/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_rxyBDbHK907GM

I would open a throw away account to post a question like this, too. There are Milspec M1/M14 rubber butt pads. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Arms-Gear-Insignias-Springfield/dp/B008UAQ06A

Other than that, I would recommend a AR-15 with a H3 buffer, gamer internals, and pink anodizing for you.

Any good?

You can do it with Amazon links as well

These have been posted here before. I have no idea which is better or how well they would work, though.

I'd recommend this then:

Solved! most likely it is a cricket slip catching cradle, used by the nearby cricket club for practice.

You can try these. Much closer in weight to a cricket ball than a tennis ball. Add electrical tape and it's manageable.

Interesting. When I went to India, I was able to get 2 authentic 'SS - English Willow" bats for about $120 dollars. They sell on Amazon for about $140. Guess that is still pretty spendy for a Halloween costume, but I love mine. I walk around the office with it and it intimidates the hell out of people.
