No windows in our changing room so everything is game.


Indoor cricket.

It's played with a corkie of decent hardness.

Batsmen sits on bench bat between legs.

Bowler on opposite bench. Bowls under arm full tosses aiming to hit legs or bench between legs.

Batsmen aim is to keep ball away from legs or sneaking through and to not get caught. Usually done aggressive.

Other players have a choice. Pay attention and catch. Or put as much protection as possible on!


It's not normally. To find all 11 off us fully padded up. Even though we are the fielding side.

If it's a long delay (20 min plus where you have to wait for things to dry up) the younger folk tend to retreat to changing room and engage in what our tea lady calls 'silly buggers'. Usually an improvised game that becomes excessively rough - an old favourite is someone tucking up wearing a helmet with the rest doing slip catches by lobbing an incredi or tennis ball at their head. Probably not in the manufacturers recommendations

Some of my club's second teamers engage in similar types of games, although always without any protection and liable to start at any moment (and anywhere outdoors on the ground) before the match or whilst waiting to bat, it can take as little as someone finding a tennis ball for it to start flying around the place.

I try and find a quiet spot somewhere to fall asleep, had to be woken up a couple of times. Failing that it's feet up with a cup of tea.

Usually sit and read the news paper. Occasionally a little nap.

Bit late on this but if it's really wet, sliding competition.

Also another plus for having a smoke, although now I've quit it'll probably be more of a challenge to see how much of the changing room me and one of the other lads can fill with vapour.

Wow, your teammates must have liked you. I could think of nothing worse.

[edge]

ha you've clearly not been near a vapouriser too much, rest of the team find it more amusing than anything else if someone uses one in the changing rooms! nothing unpleasant about it.
