I'd suggest wind resistance would significantly slow it down, but yes, you wouldn't want it to hit you on the head.

I wonder what the terminal velocity of a cricket ball is? Maths/science nerds feel free to respond.

An interesting thing would be the drift it'd generate from such a distance and speed. It'd be crazy I'd imagine.

Yeah, I could imagine that.

Amazingly, the answer to the terminal velocity question has actually been answered on the internet. It's just a mere 123 km/h.

I just assumed a vacuum TBH, so sqrt(2*g*h) for the velocity.

You're just jealous that Dravid is with me.

Jayasuriya banned for two years for corruption. ****ing depressing from a cricketer who was well respected during his time.

I've said it like a hundred times on CW, but he really was a monumental prick when he came here. Have always disliked him immensely ever since.
