| A cricket ball is harder than a cricket bat. Willow, the wood used for cricket bats, is quite a soft and fibrous wood, whilst cricket balls are 156 grams of leather.
An easy way to tell that the ball is harder is the indentations and cracking that a cricket ball causes to a cricket bat. These are natural side effects of cricket. As a number of manufacturers will say light surface cracking is natural, however larger cracks and breks are the sign of a bad bat or bad bat maintenance.
