Umpires are made of wood

By Will 2 years ago, at the start of March, 3 Comments »

It’s official: umpires are made out of wood after all. This genius shot of a dead tree carved into an umpire was found on Flickr:

When I eventually build my own house – one of my lifelong ambitions – I’d find it hard not to resist carving my own umpire. It’s a must-have for any cricket tragic and makes me wonder what else you might chisel out of an old tree…

Just play

Nice description of this photo on Flickr

Some people play it in greeny grounds. Some play it in municipal dumps*. Some people play with real wickets. Some people play with brick-walla wickets. Some people play in proper uniforms. Some people play in torn trousers. Some people have chai breaks. Some people have tea breaks. Some people win. Some people lose. They all love cricket.

This is brilliant! Bunch of lads playing cricket on ice, in the snow, in the cold, in Estonia. I’m going to have to put my journalist’s hat on and speak to them.

Urban street cricket photos

By Will 5 years ago, mid-October, 9 Comments »

Stavros reminded me of these photos, which I forgot to post last night.

I’ve mentioned and posted photos of Indian street cricket, which is altogether more common…but in Britain? Not so common.

Flamenco Cricket – bowling your way to humiliation

By Will 5 years ago, mid-October, 1 Comment »

It’s Flamenco Cricket. It’s new, it’s crazy and it’s coming to a club near you it’s more than a little odd.

See? Winning the Ashes does strange things to everyone. From Flickr user reggio.

The green-eyed monster in me is rising…if anyone is feeling generous and wants to give me their ticket for any of the five days, do let me know. I won’t mind going in place of you.
