What else can I help you with?
You see the cricket ball hitting the bat first and then hear the sound?
Light travels faster (much faster) than sound.
Why can you see someone hit a ball before you hear the sound produced when you are a few hundred meters away?
Sound travels much slower than light. When someone hits a ball, the light waves carrying the visual information reach your eyes almost instantly, while the sound waves take longer to travel through the air to your ears. This delay causes you to see the action before you hear it when you are at a significant distance away.

Do you hear thunder or see lightning first?
If the lightening hit you, then you'd experience both at the same time. However, in general, you'll see lightening first, since that travels at the speed of light, and thunder second, as that travels at the speed of sound. One way to see this easily in practice is to go to a baseball game or cricket game and sit far away from the action - you will be able to see the batter hit the ball before you hear the sound of the ball hitting his bat.

Lightning then thunder. Essentially they're both the same thing at the same time, but light travels faster than sound. You'll see the flash of light before you hear the noise.

Does the surface of a hill effect how fast a ball will roll down it?
Yes, the surface of a hill can affect how fast a ball will roll down it. A smoother surface will have less friction, allowing the ball to roll faster, while a rougher surface will create more friction and slow the ball down. Additionally, the incline of the hill will also impact the speed of the ball as steeper hills will cause the ball to accelerate more quickly.
Why does a baseball bat crack?
The speed of sound is about 350 m/s (about 400 yards/second). If you are 400 yards away from the batter, then it could take about 1 second for the sound to reach you in the more distant stands. Light takes less than one millionth of a second to travel the same distance. On TV, it depends on how far away the microphone is from the batter as to how noticeable the delay is. They usually have their microphones fairly close to the field and batter so you don't notice the delay as much on TV. Source: wikipedia
