How do blind people play cricket? Does the ball emit some sort of sound?

All the rules and techniques of Blind Cricket are familiar to cricket players everywhere. However, the subtle differences are highlighted below. The game is played with a ball made of hard plastic and filled with tiny ball bearings. Bowling is underarm and the ball has to pitch once before the mid pitch.

Wow!!!! If you had respect for blind people it should just go up in many folds now.
It is beyond my imagination on how they can go around do regular things that I wouldn't be able to do if I was like them.

Fascinating indeed. Empathy and respect, I have both for them.
Two weeks back, I had surgery in my both eyes and I was so panicked what if I won't be able to see anymore? Just thinking of being blind made me so worried and puzzled that I can't even explain...
