Cricket is rad, either bricking yourself facing a speed man, hurling some >60mph bodyliners at your head and chest just to wind you up. Or hanging out drinking, chilling or getting rowdy watching an international game. One of my best times was playing a club league match in the rain in Aberdeen (cold far north Scottish city), the only white on Brit/Pakistani team against a team of racist South African oil rig workers. The atmosphere was intense, the sledging epic (verbal abuse the close in players give the opposition batsmen to put them off their game). Cant remember if we got the win or a draw and celebrated with a Punjabi feast.

Mum lives in Braintree. Well, Bocking, but it's effectively part of Braintree. Change a lot it may have, but Braintree will *always* be a shithole.
If I hadn't been working today I'd have been playing in my team's annual fixture against a bunch of 2nd and 3rd gen Pakistanis. They are way better than us and always bring a massive, bangingly good biriyani. Basically we accept the indignity of getting our arses handed to us because the food is great. On reflection, probably worth it. 😎
(I think they probably win because, being good Muslims, none of them are ever playing under the influence... Also they are way better at cricket).
