The end of hibernation

[bradburyd]

I was puzzled about a remark about cricket not being safe and it was the ball that was the issue. I'm not a cricket fan, but presumably all the bowlers having their own balls and sanitising before bowling and between contact by the fielders with said ball (s) isn't sufficient? Otherwise the players are fairly well spaced out.

Cricketers use just 1 ball between them

and they spit on it   

I suppose they could make all the players wear surgical gloves. After all the wicket keeper
wears gloves!

Don't think I can remember "normal"....

The gloves wouldn't help much - unless taken off before touching your face or picking your nose - they are just another surface which could be contaminated from contact with a contaminated ball.

I suppose it is harder to pick your nose when wearing wicket keeper's gloves though.

That's why I can't see the point of gloves unless you can be 100% sure you won't touch your face whilst  wearing them. Better to just wash your hands properly.

How about playing cricket with a tennis ball?

I picked up that deep in the regs there are restrictions on shouting and singing loudly. The droplets travel further at full voice

Need a Fact Check

(I mean that there's a need to check the regs, not that the droplets travel further!)

Haven't they banned singing in church?

(Had to correct that,  as it came out as sinning! )

I'm overjoyed that we're finally moving towards normality again.  I have a hairdressers appointment booked for 4th July - bye bye 2" grey roots  - and afterwards I'm off to the nearest beer garden, weather permitting
