beach cricket
Seaside bat game
Beach cricket is an informal version of cricket played on sand, typically at the beach.
The soft, uneven surface and improvised equipment—often a tennis ball and whatever serves as a bat—make it more casual than the formal sport.
Rules are loosely adapted: We set up stumps with driftwood and played beach cricket until sunset.
Popular in cricket-loving countries like Australia and England during summer holidays.
