Okay, we need to go to Wikipedia and at least amend the articles here.
Can't let this be seen as solely a Subcontinent/London thing...

We use bicycle inner tube to tape the ball which was made out of newspaper, also we used a young bread fruit if a tape or tennis ball was not available.

Electrical tape over a tennis ball. Took some skill in keeping the round shape of the ball.

Pretty creative, I have to say.
My experiences are essentially what Priapus mentioned. The stumps were anything from an old set of speakers to a trash bin to a marked wall, you name it.
Priapus did you skin the ball first or just put the tape over the fuzz? I think it was simply, whatever condition the ball was in, you just taped it up and rolled with it.
