I don't know! Fed is just born to play tennis. I can't think of any other tennis player who fits the 'ideal' tennis player bill more than this one man. I can't imagine Fed playing any other sport professionally - football may be because he would probably have great footwork there as well.

Well his full pants attire he dons for wimbly would pretty much look the same if he were bowling a fast one at the Oval!Cricketerer - would look good whether he batted or bowled...

He would probably get in the Switzerland 4th XI.

This is true - looking so perfect would almost certainly result in a 5 wicket haul...

We all know Fed better on the grass.

If memory serves me correct, you need to employ someone as your runner. Right ?

Not really. I scored 2 runs off 2 balls of the first over and then got out on the 6th ball by spooning a catch.

Nope never heard of them
They are approved by the Tennis Ball Cricket association of India and manufactured in India, so it must be popular.

They’ve also cleverly coloured them in red
But white cricket balls are also used.

I once gave some Dunlop tennis balls to the boys who play cricket in the park. But they said they used harder balls. They buy them in the market nearby for some 30 rupees or so.

The cork balls are too hard in general. When I was a quid I used to fool around with the tennis balls only and then I preferred racket sports for playing, especially badminton because it was cheap and easily accessible.
Ah that is interesting. Once when I was a kid, I had played with a cork ball. That was heavier and more deadly than a regular cricket ball.
Hard tennis balls are not like that.
@Sentinel will point that this use of only at the end of the phrase is not only grammatically incorrect, but is unique to Indian speakers.

I don't mean cork balls although I have played cricket with them, too.
These are some balls that look like tennis balls but are harder.
