I'm overseas at the moment and today went to watch a cricket match, the first live sport I've seen since early February. Actually felt strange at first but it was brilliant just sat outside on a terrace with a beer in hand watching a 45 over a side match. Whenever the first Dale game is open I can guarantee it will feel different and will be memorable after such a long time for anyone who attends. Gutted I won't be there but Hopefully a lot of people on this board will enjoy that first experience after such a long time whatever the result. With a bit of luck it will be the Gillingham game so I'll enjoy seeing you all on I-follow. Can't wait to see fans in the ground |  | | |  |

No amount of time being in lockdown will persuade me to go.to a cricket match afterwards |  |

tbh chalky, "going to a cricket match" is often a bloody good excuse for an extended piss-up in the sunshine
The thwack of willow on leather merely provides a soundtrack |  |

First went to Old Trafford on a school trip many years ago now.. had a really good day, sun cracked the flags & we sneaked a couple of beers in..
Not been since though tbh but would rather watch cricket than rugby if I had to choose |  |

There's also usually a fair number of 'distractions' in the crowd on sunny days! | |

Headingley is a good day out as well. Good weather makes it all the better. |  | | |

OK, we have been lucky in NZ, and apart from the March full lockdown and a more recent mini lockdown, we have not had any issues. However, I did lose my job through Covid, and have not been to see much live, happy to watch on TV. That changes this weekend,with a trip to Auckland, and hopefully a first...watching the Americas cup. To be honest, I don't think it will be much of a spectator sport, but if others can provide BBQ and viewing point, and everyone contributes drinks, it could be a very enjoyable day. | | | |

Cricket tour v SA by D_Alien 18 Dec 2019 12:00Jimmy Anderson back in action since breaking down in August, and taking a wicket in the first warm-up game
Looking forward to this tour, as the team looks to establish a new sense of purpose in the test arena. Ben Stokes had a great tour last time, and should be feeling in good fettle
Incidentally, batting for the SA XI, Matthew Arnold. I wondered what he'd been up to after writing Dover Beach

Do cricketer's take the knee before a game?
Serious question | |

England did ahead of the WI tests in July but stopped doing so for the Pakistan tests the following month. |  |

NZ did with the West Indies. The Kiwis have not let the Windies get back up so far. | | | |
