Village Green Cricket
Village Green cricket is alive and well. I took this picture on Woodford Green, the other end from where I took this. For those people who would like to understand how the game is played, this should help. Here's a curiosity, as far as I know, cricket is the only game to have laws, not rules.

post a commentWhat I'm wondering is whether it is a male-dominated sport still or are there a lot of women's teams. Every time I see it played, it seems to be only men and boys!
Uhh, nice, I saw a documentary on Village Green cricket a few months ago, I think it might have even featured Woodford Green! It seems like a very interesting sport!
I'm not sure I can handle a game that could last several days.
Thanks a lot for the explanation - now I get it... NOT!
Cricket is a fantastic sport to play, but so boring to watch. Unless you are having a cream tea of course.Lol
Association Football has laws, not rules.
Perhaps it's an English thing?
Nerissa, there is a long history of women playing cricket but basically, its men.
Sebastian, interesting isn't a word I'd use, much as I enjoy it ;-)
OC, its only county and test that go on for days at a time, the rest just seem that way.
Carmen, Jenny, glad to be of service ;-)
Mark, beers help, too
Keith, yes I wasn't certain of my ground there. English odditiy it is, then.
It's certainly men get the TV coverage. There are strong women's tams, however, and women invented overarm bowling (it used to be underarm, but the ball got caught in their skirts).
Here in Austyralia the junior cricket teams my son has played in have always had girsl in them as well.
