Brazzers Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Would anyone here be interested in a Glasto cricket match? I've got a few mates who would be interested and I reckon if we ask the organisers nicely they'll let us take bats and balls in. I was thinking on the Wednesday on the Pyramid field. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take was there is no way I'm running around on that ground and risking turning an ankle (or worse) just before the festival starts!

I wonder if anyone that played still posts on these boards ....I think hobo jones provided the music for it ... Still a couple! 2009 and 2010. I played in both. Very well organised by Neil, Chaz, Hogga, NoRainPlease and others and a lot of fun but its a tough start to the festival for organisers and a lot more organisation needed that you'd think. Extra trips to cars etc. And lumpy mucky ground mixed with 8 inch tall grass isn't the greatest surface for sport! We were lucky it was dry both years even if 2010 was like playing in the Sahara. It'll be wet next year. I know it, you know it and Eavis knows it. Cricket is shit anyway. An abysmal excuse for a sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’d feel sorry for those camping on Row Mead. The last thing you want is a cricket ball flying through your tent if someone hits a 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozanne Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’ve played a bit of cricket in my day, I style my batting on Michael Atherton. Solid defensive shot and love a good leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid defensive shot and love a good leave. Good luck leaving one on a Glasto wicket. I've a feeling one dry cow pat might exaggerate any movement off the seam. I'm keen as mustard if this goes ahead. Think of me as Devonshire Brian Lara, minus the tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you dare show that picture again! It is definitely a lot of work to organise before and especially on the day but well worth the effort.

Do it on the ground where they have the big bonfire. That grass should be short enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick game of kwik cricket, nothing too serious. Few tinnies in the sun, smell of weed in the air and a few overs with the efestivals crew.
