THATS SOME EXPENSIVE CRICKET BALL

This diamond studded cricket ball held by Indian actress Mahima Chaudhry was presented to the Best Indian and Best International players at the 2007 Cricket World Cup tournament. The diamond cricket ball was created by Gitanjali Gems Limited. Each diamond ball is studded with 5,728 pieces of diamonds with a worth of approximately $68,500.

Oddly enough, this wasn't the first diamond cricket ball. To check out the first diamond cricket ball made back in 2004, click here . It only had 2,704 diamonds. My gosh, the original creators of the diamond cricket ball in 2004 were really thinking small.

Alston Koch, managing director, Fior Drissage, holds a perfect made-to-scale diamond and gold cricket ball, which has been brought to Australia to celebrate the start of the cricket season and the opening of their jewellery store in Melbourne.

Kind of embarrassing that the first diamond cricket ball was so easy to out do... isn't that what you're thinking?
