You forgot the ball. All cricket balls are made from cork and latex rubber on the inside with leather on the outside. Feb 19 06, 12:49 PM

True - cork is a product of the trunk of a tree. I tended to feel a bit wooden myself when playing at long stop - the only place on the field for me where everyone felt safe... Feb 19 06, 2:49 PM

Sight screens are usually made from wood painted white. Feb 19 06, 5:26 PM

If they've only got two bats between the two teams, they won't be able to afford sight screens. Feb 20 06, 5:47 AM

If compressed cork counts as wood, how about the paper that the scorebook is made of? And certainly the scorers pencil. Cheers, DaveJ Feb 20 06, 8:40 AM
