Cricket below freezing!

[Langeveldt]

Here is a picture I took a few weeks ago, over christmas.
The temperature is about -2C (about -7 with the wind chill) and we are out playing cricket ! There is still standing ice in the shadows. The car park in our village is a great cricketing arena, a theater of dreams maybe.
Last year i broke my arm after bowling in snow.
Anyone play in worse conditions?

Have you tried playing backyard cricket drunk?

Ive played Rugby when drunk, very weird because you go in for a tackle and you end up grabbing a load of fresh air, and as for catching the ball! Its weird the fact that you can see everything, but you end up missing the ball/player etc by miles..

Is that you batting or bowling? Well If I go to Russia, then I might have the chance of playing cricket in the snow.
