Cricket shops in Oxford benefit from Ashes
A fantastic weekend of sport topped by England winning the Ashes. For one horrible moment I thought Australia were going to do it, but the good news is, it’s not all over yet as cricket fever seems to have swept the nation.
In fact, according to our latest figures, searches for cricket sports equipment and sportswear in Oxford, along with local cricket clubs, have surged dramatically since the start of the Ashes. I wonder if any budding young cricket players in this area will end up helping lift that little urn at some point in the future?
My little boy has always been crazy about football, that was until England won the Ashes! Now he has decided that he would rather be a cricketer than a footballer. He has started going to the local cricket club and he is really enjoying it. He looks so adorable in his pristine whites, but I am biased and think that he looks adorable in everything!
His Dad loves cricket too, so my house has gone a bit cricket crazy at the moment. Instead of them screami9ng and yelling at the football, I get them screaming and yelling at the football AND the cricket!
I have decided that for my husband’s birthday I will try and get him tickets to a big cricket match at Twickenham. I know that he will absolutely love it, maybe he’ll even take my cricket crazy son along with him too. Maybe I shouldn’t encourage them, but at least I’d have a day of peace without people screaming at the TV!
