Cricket on Ice

We have heard of cricket being played in hard pitches, soft pitches, crumbling pitches, grassy pitches....But on Ice....

Well, Cricket is being played on solidified ice in Lake Harku,Estonia. See the wonderful video here

Organiser of the event, Julian Tall, says ''The main modification is the ball. We can't play with an outdoor leather ball because the leather freezes, it becomes too hard, becomes dangerous. So we use indoor composite plastic ball and that lasts for the day. It doesn't break and it's pretty safe.''
