Cricket was a big deal at my school, as was Rugby with good coaching from PE staff.
But my love for the game was during our long summer holidays (1979 - 1984) at a caravan park in Essex. We (brothers, cousins, mates) would set up in the camping field with only one set of stumps / bails, one stump at the bowling end, one bat, one well worn ball, no pads, no wk gloves, poor pitch. But some how managed to recruit kids, dads even mums to join in.
For ten years wicket keeper for the firm or ringer for other firm in Twenty20 evening format or for a pub team in local league. Rare occasions for Banbury CC ended up visiting a few stunning grounds in the Cherwell league. Haven’t played for a while, but always up for a game.
