With all the hype around the ashes, myself and 103(!) of my work colleagues went to the T20 cricket at the Kia Oval in Vauxhall, London. Despite knowing absolutely nothing about cricket, and not knowing who was playing it was a great evening!
The venue was very cool (despite terrible directional signage!) and reminded me of an American
Baseball Game, which are always fun! There was chanting, t-shirt cannons and fireworks - although the atmosphere wasn't quite as exciting as baseball it was a lot livelier than I expected cricket to be. It was also a lot busier than I expected, the venue was pretty much full, I never realised how popular and rowdy cricket was. I'm also learning that Pimms is a key staple at any English sporting event, I may as well get on board! There was me thinking cricket was just for old posh people..
Overall it was such a fun night and I am glad I went. I think it's always important to try new experiences, even if you don't think its your 'thing' - you never know you might be pleasantly surprised.
