Do it
I played league/club stuff from about 1990 to 2008 then stopped and played 1 or 2 fun games a year because of hockey, life and cycling
Went back to it last year for winter nets and I have not regretted it for one minute. I now play mid week T20 & league on Saturday with nets once a week. It was hard to get back into it physically, because you forget that bowling, fielding and batting are actually really quite physical and the last time you did it you were faster and younger, but it’s a great game and people are generally very, very welcoming.
Every match is a full rollercoaster of emotions and almost a microcosm of life, but you always get a beer and laugh after with decent folk and even if that goes to shit, you can always sit in the shed, sanding a bat wondering why you played that shot/dropped that catch/or why the umpire was ‘clearly cheating’, counting down the hours until you get to do it all again.
It’s also got me back into following County stuff properly. Had Lancs v Somerset on today listening to Jennings go huge.
Love it
