Found the water quite a lot today though. Perils of playing at the harbourside arena I suppose. Nice clip off the legs at most grounds, but that's in the drink and out here. #StreetCricket #Cricket #Bristol #CricketInTheCity #Out

Great day playing cricket on the streets of Bristol again today. Thank you to everyone who got involved when passing by. Especially 'one handed catch man!' Meanwhile, is this out, or sliding down? #Cricket #StreetCricket #Bristol #Harbourside #CricketInTheCity

Highlight #2: Our second (now annual) family cricket day was bigger and better than 2023. Over 150 people enjoyed the day from either side of the boundary rope. A real focus on making it a great day for spectators and extended family worked well this year. Treasure hunt, BBQ, 🍺 bouncy 🏰 etc #Cricket

Umpiring decisions can be cruel, infuriating, and sometimes downright funny. Our '50 Reasons' tea towels and posters should be essential viewing for part time umpires. Commit to memory and you'll never be stuck for an answer when the bowler asks howzat!? www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Peop... #Cricket

Highlight #1: We've grown the Bristol Friendly Cricket Group to more than 60 adults. Nearly everyone involved had been out of the game until we got our 'low commitment' cricket community going in 2023. A very enjoyable rescue mission. Loved meeting hidden cricket lovers in the community #Cricket

Another remarkable performance from England men's team. At 40-odd for four it would have been comfortable to be more circumspect. Who knows, that might have worked too. But they really put the pressure back on NZ and that was a crucial phase. Bowlers have been excellent too! #Cricket

Brydon Carse is the first English seamer to take 10 in a match overseas since Ryan Sidebottom in Hamilton in 2008. It's something that neither Anderson nor Broad achieved in their careers.

Today's game was really energising. Around 30 - 40 people got involved at some stage, we happily shared the space with walkers, runners, mountain bikers, skaters, bladers and more. Can't stop seeing other public spaces as possible cricket pitches now 😂 #Cricket #Bristol #Community #streetcricket

Not easy to book indoor facilities in winter, too wet in the park. No bother. Let's play in the city centre. Great to meet people as they passed and make plans for more cricket on the streets of Bristol. Such a fun game, when we keep it simple & social #Cricket #Community #Bristol
