We have used lemons and lemon-like things to play cricket. We had a cream cup, we used to take the bumper ball there, press it, so that there could be good compression in the ball. We used to play with tape ball, insulation tape. I was the only one in my school, we had a group of youngsters, as I have five brothers. We have a team from the very beginning. Some people from the village used to come together, and we used to play cricket together. Sometimes we would start cricket at 7 in the morning and finish at 4 in the afternoon.
