Cricket Weather is on its way to the UK - 19/03/2009The weather's slowly starting to improve as spring progresses, the days are getting longer and the sun is in evidence more often. The unexpected snow in the UK recently does not seem to have put the flowers off! Daffodils, narcissi, crocuses, and snowdrops are all coming out in force, adding some early colour whilst most trees are still only budding. It's the time of year when many of us feel compelled to be outdoors, gardening, visiting a local country park or taking the dog for extra long walks. In fact for many, the weather is ideal, neither too hot nor too cold. It is also nearing the start of the cricket season in Britain, and up and down the country enthusiasts of all abilities are eagerly anticipating the sound of the ball hitting the willow bat. A number of people who enjoy cricket have never actually played, but they enjoy attending matches for the atmosphere, many feel their summer is not complete without going to at least one cricket game. Most will be aware of all the rules of the game, but this is not necessary to enjoy yourself as a spectator. For those who play cricket, whether as amateurs or professionals, this is of course not an option! Learning all the rules of play is one of the very first steps to becoming a good player, as is getting to know your cricket equipment. If you decide that you would like to replace any of your kit this year, from bats and wickets to caps and socks, make sure you purchase your cricket equipment from a reputable source.
