There’s something about a quality catch from a fellow supporter that gets a cricket crowd all riled up.

I’ve spent a great deal of time sitting on the grass embankment at Newlands, and have trodden on a fair few picnic baskets trying to pluck a big hit out of the air, but to no avail.

The quest continues, if and when we’re ever allowed to watch live sport again.
