	Cricinfo - Cricket explained
		If a batsman misses the ball and in attempting to play it steps outside his crease, he is out stumped if the wicket-keeper gathers the ball and breaks the wicket with it before the batsman can ground part of his body or his bat behind his crease.
		If such a ball comes to rest in front of the striker, but any distance to the side, the striker is entitled to walk up to the ball and attempt to hit it with his bat.
		In cases 2 and 3, the ball must be replaced by a previously used ball of similarly worn condition to the old ball, as chosen by the umpires.

	Cricket ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cricket balls are made from a core of cork, which is layered with tightly wound string, and covered by a leather case with a slightly raised sewn seam.
		The seam of a cricket ball can also be used to produce different trajectories through the air, with the technique known as swing bowling, or to produce sideways movement as it bounces off the pitch, with the technique known as seam bowling.
		A new cricket ball is harder than a worn one, and is preferred by fast bowlers because of the speed and bounce of the ball as it bounces off the pitch.

	Sports Rules - Cricket
		Ball handling - the batsman may not handle the ball with the hand which is not holding the bat, unless the other team have given permission to.

		Cricket balls have also killed, normally again when struck just over the heart (what was so offensive about bodyline was that this was the area Larwood, Voce and Bowes were aiming at, at about 90mph).
		Cricket, I should add, can also be played anywhere as long as you have a bat and some sort of ball (just draw the stumps on a wall if you haven't got any).
		A cricket ball weighs between 8 and 10 ounces, and is usually a piece of cork wrapped in twine, which is then further wrapped in either two or four pieces of leather.

	An Explanation of Cricket - What is Cricket
		The language of cricket is particularly idiosyncratic and tends to reflect the somewhat complicated and eccentric nature of the game itself.
		The majority of the terms used in cricket have originated in England and Australia, however these terms have generally been adopted by the majority of playing nations and their cricketers.
		If the batsman strikes the ball with the bat and it is caught by the bowler or one of the bowler's side who are dotted around the ground to field the ball before it hits the ground, then he is deemed to be out.

	Cricket For America
		Top-order (1,2,3) batsmen have to be adept against pace and the new ball; 4 and 5 will often be the two most attacking batsmen, while 5 or 6 may be the best place for a 'spin specialist', who is most useful when the ball is older and the slow bowlers are in action.
		Incidentally, if proof were needed that cricket is the natural game of the pedant, the MCC sees fit to state in the laws that if the ball hits the the wicket by way of the pad, even if it satisfies the criteria for an lbw, the batsman is out bowled, not lbw.
		The ball comes into play when the bowler starts his run-up, and becomes automatically dead when the umpire considers it to have 'finally settled' in the hands of the wicket-keeper or bowler, when a wicket falls, or when the ball reaches the boundary or when the umpire calls 'over' or 'time'.
