Loading ...Will: I saw the photos before I read your comment. And I was thinking ” why would a street cricket be special!” IT didnt strike me that it was only common in India.
BTW the only thing missing (in comparison to street crick in ind)
is that they didnt draw wickets on the wooden peice with chalk 
Nice photos Mathew.
Urban street cricket photos

Stavros reminded me of these photos, which I forgot to post last night. They’re just a bunch of people playing cricket in the street, but it’s significant that they’re (almost certainly) British and in Britain. I’ve mentioned and posted photos of Indian street cricket, which is altogether more common…but in Britain? Not so common.

good ones zainub. reminds me of times when there used to be Band (statewide strikes!) and kids used to play cricket on the main roads, since there were no vehicles on there.

Kids in my locality play on the roads regardless – it’s sounds dangerous, and seems that way too, but they don’t seem to bother.

Me and my mates often play street cricket down in Fallowfield, Manchester. Been a bit dark for a while, but April should be the start of a new season…

Also, car park cricket was massive at Old Trafford on the Sautrday when it rained during the Ashes. Still got some pics of that, almost made up for hardly seeing any Test cricket.
