点评:With a ticket booked to see my first ever professional cricket match at Chelmsford in a few weeks, (T20 Vitalist Blast), I thought I'd better come and have a warm up.
It was Yorkshire 2nd XI v Durham at Scarborough's compact ground. Watched by a 'crowd' of at least 30! No chanting, drunken revelry or loudspeaker announcement. Just peace and quiet apart from the thwack of leather on willow.
The bonus for me was that there was absolutely no charge and you could hear every word out on the field. Which was a lot more than I realised. Sitting side on to the wicket, the speed of the fast bowlers was scarily quick.
I could have ventured into any of the stands with proper seats, but the wooden benches just inside the ground were perfect on a warm early summer/late spring day.
A very pleasant way to spend a few hours.

比赛在斯卡伯勒紧凑的球场进行,约克郡二队对阵达勒姆郡。现场至少有30人!没有欢呼声、没有醉酒狂欢,也没有广播通知。除了皮革敲击柳树的噼啪声,现场一片宁静。
对我来说,额外的福利是完全免费,而且场上每个字都能听得清清楚楚。这比我想象的要好得多。我侧身坐在三柱门旁,快速投球手的速度快得吓人。
我本来可以去任何一个有合适座位的看台,但在温暖的初夏/晚春,球场内的木凳是完美的选择。
这是一种非常愉快的消磨时光的方式。
