How it all started!
Cricket but Different
Cricket but Different
It was when I came across base-ball and ice-hockey puck bottle openers in the States when the lightbulb moment was there. But rather than cutting balls in half; that is what you see elsewhere; I thought the generous hold of a full size cricket ball is how it should be!
