Cricket Ball

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 264.3 Hz, 18 cents sharp of C4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it to flick it seam up; it skids with backspin, then rolls home.

A cricket ball is a hard ball with a cork center, wound tight with string and covered in leather. A raised seam of stitching runs around its middle. Red balls are used in long matches that can last days, and white ones in shorter games.

Bowlers hold the ball with the seam upright, because a seam that lands upright can jump sideways off the ground. Tap it for a seam-up flick: the seam stands tall while the ball spins backward, then it comes down, skids on with its backspin until the spin grips, and rolls home.

Made in Splashery. Its code is MIT.
