Blythe blithe cricket


Cricket is a strange game. I don’t think I could play it - as it takes up the whole day (I mean local cricket, not the mad Test game which can last even longer - five days…!), but I can watch it for hours on end.
Most local cricket clubs maintain a bar while the game is on, so the spectator can just sit there and slowly drift the day away in a soft & blithe semi-alcoholic hypnotised haze - a brilliant way to spend an afternoon.

In Staffordshire, some of the clubs have some great grounds too, with panoramic views across the countryside.
This ground, belonging to Blythe CC, is one such. The one at Stanley (in the Moorlands) is also spectacular.
