The project aims to capture the essence of cricket's evolution influenced by global diaspora, highlighting varied players, spectators, and traditions that shape the game. It emphasizes the shift from traditional rural imagery to showcasing the diverse community involved in cricket. Personal stories like Bill's experience waiting to bat in early season rain and Colin's initiative at 40 Cricket Club reflect the game's grassroots efforts to engage younger players. Various matches, including those at the highest club in England and Galloway CC in Glasgow, illustrate cricket's cultural significance and social connections among players.
The cricketing landscape has been shaped over the years by the diaspora from cricket-playing nations across the world who have brought their own passions, styles and traditions to the game.
Colin of 40 Cricket Club, which is one of the oldest wandering teams in the world, aims to take cricket to the schools by offering fixtures for young cricketers to play against more experienced players.
The end of the cricket season saw many games planned in Lancashire rained off, prompting a visit to a club called Queensbury, which is reported to be the highest club in England.
At Galloway CC's home match in Glasgow, the players drank at the drinks break in pairs, emphasizing the communal and social aspects of cricket.
