To the bowler, friction is a great aid in determining the spin and bounce of the ball. And to a fielder when returning the ball. To the batsman - not much.
Similar comments apply to Baseball, Netball and Basketball etc.
In cricket, the main type of friction used is kinetic friction between the ball and the pitch. This friction affects the ball's movement, bounce, and spin when it comes into contact with the pitch. Players also rely on static friction between the ball and the fielder's hands to catch and field the ball effectively.
criket merits and demerits
Friction stops the ball from moving infinitely. It also stops the clubs and people from moving infinitely. Without friction, all of these things would just keep sliding and sliding and sliding.
Friction opposes cricket. It creates resistance between the ball and the pitch, affecting how the ball moves when it bounces or rolls on the surface. Players need to account for friction when bowling, batting, or fielding to control the ball effectively.
Friction in cricket can be harmful as it can cause the ball to deteriorate faster, impacting its performance and making it harder for the bowler to control. Additionally, excessive friction between the ball and the pitch can result in uneven wear and tear on the pitch, affecting the game's balance between bowlers and batsmen.

No; friction decreases gas mileage.

I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
