Cricket Season

Ah, the cricket season is upon us. We search under our beds for our pads and boxes, and take to the fields of central London to attempt to hit that elusive six and take that wonder catch. And also, we watch people doing it properly on the telly.

But somehow, doing it yourself is so much better. Yes, it hurts when you take the first catch of the season, and it’s terrifying when a pace bowler is steaming in at you trying to knock your block off, but when you do connect with the sweet spot, or when you deliver an unplayable ball which the bat knicks behind for a wicket, there’s nothing quite like it. So brush off your whites and head down to Wandsworth Common, where the cricket’s flowing.
