first cricket of the season…

I went along to the Seat Unique Stadium yesterday to watch Gloucestershire (currently next to bottom of the league) play Leicestershire (league leaders).
It proved to be an ‘interesting’ day’s play – with 14 wickets falling during the course the day. Glos were 87-6 at lunch, but recovered to 252 all out; Leics finished at 91-4 at the close.
As ever, I was intrigued (and entertained) by the conversations going on around me by ‘typical cricket-loving old codgers’ like me!
These were just THREE extracts from two Leicestershire supporters sitting on the next table:
“Did I ever tell you about the time I played with Courtney Walsh when I was in the West Indies?
“Zak Crawley once asked for my advice…”
“I played against Gary Lineker at Stamford Bridge… I’ve got the programme to prove it!”
I enjoyed my day, my beer, my roast pork roll AND my cricket!
A very good day.
