on March

Cricket table rolled
Worms casts swept up
Stripes on the square

Before play commences
A pitch must be selected
Cut
Rolled
Marked
Outfield mowed
Boundary roped
Sight screens wheeled out
Wickets pitched
Teams selected
Coin tossed
Then the opening fixture
Will be on

Weather permitting

n.b. Overstrand Cricket Club prepares for the 2026 season. When does the season begin? At the first cut of the field, or the first time the umpire calls "Play"?
