Wednesday 8 September 2010

The Boys of Summer are gone !

Wednesday 8th September at around 4.45pm, the rain began to fall over the Oval. Play had stopped for bad light some minutes before. Grey sky overhead indicated that the rain was not going to relent, and so I decided to make my way to the station.

For me the cricket season was over; there are two more days of the game remaining but work commitments will prevent me taking seat at the ground. I came to realise that next year , once I retire, I'll be able to watch much more cricket.

Sadly between now and then is a long winter. In November England will travel to Australia to defend the Ashes, and I should be able to watch a fair amount on TV, but cricket is all about being there. Warm days, warm beer and a pasty... until next April.
