Reply #8: Junior's playing with what they call a tennis-cricket ball

[...of J.Temperance]

It's specifically designed to be used indoors....not outdoors, Junior's playing outdoors in those pictures. The ball is used to avoid injuries in cramped spaces ie. indoors.

It's a lightweight ball covered in felt, it's a tennis ball.

The proper cricket ball is cork and it's covered with red leather, it weigh's about 5.5 ounces. So of course as Junior cannot even ride a bicycle, wave and talk at the same time, or eat a pretzel and watch the television at the same time....who'd let him near a proper cricket ball?

On Edit: Dammit spelling error.
