Question 1

What equipment do I need for a game of cricket at home?

Accepted Answer

Recreating the magic of a cricket match at home is simpler than you think. Once you’ve picked your pitch, whether it's your back garden or a local park, all you need is a ball, bat and a set of stumps! To make your game feel even more like the real thing, just pick up a pack of cones so you can clearly mark your boundaries and track fours and sixes effortlessly.  Better still, you can find handy bundles that include everything you need to get a game going from brands trusted by the best in the business, such as Gunn & Moore.

Question 2

How do I stay cool and comfortable in an open-air venue?

Accepted Answer

Enjoying the sunshine and fresh air while watching your favourite team play is an unbeatable feeling. However, spending hours in the sometimes sticky British heat and humidity can take its toll if you aren’t fully prepared.  While still air is great for the players pulling off the perfect shot, it can make sitting in the stands or on the boundary line feel a little stifling. Luckily, a handheld fan can allow you to make your own breeze, all at a price that won’t break the bank.  And don’t forget that SPF! Make sure you apply SPF 30 or higher every two hours to keep your skin protected from the first over to the last.

Question 3

How many cricket grounds are there in the UK?

Accepted Answer

The UK is home to 23 professional cricket grounds up and down the country, so you’re never far away from the game you love.  Classic venues like Lord’s Cricket Ground and The Kia Oval combine hundreds of years of history for a day to remember. Take a trip to the Edgbaston ground to take in the famous lively atmosphere for yourself, or enjoy a stroll around the iconic green space surrounding Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.
