Cricket has long been a gentleman’s sport, giving rise to the exclamation, ‘that’s just not cricket,’ meaning something isn’t fair, or someone has cheated. While in hockey and soccer players seek to gain the advantage by devious means, illegal hits or taking dives, in cricket professional players have been known to call themselves out.
If you think you’ve got the gentlemanly comportment to play such a dignified sport, have loved the game your whole life and want to play it and not just watch it on the telly, or if you just want to know what the Brits and the Indians are on about, the Quesnel Cricket Club invites you to have a go with them at the École Baker school grounds at 3 p.m. on Sundays.
The club brings bats and balls so all you have to bring is yourself and the dignity of a gentleman and the field is yours.
