Question

How is friction harmful for cricket

Answer 1

We CANNOT say that friction is 'HARMFUL' for cricket.

It is both good and bad for the game of Cricket:

Friction helps in-

1. To catch the ball
2. To run
3. Helps the ball to move
4. It helps the batsman to hit the ball

Friction opposes in-

1. When a batsman hits the ball, it stops after travelling some distance.

Hence we can say that friction is both supporting and opposing in cricket.

Hope this helps!
