Scots generally don't go much for cricket. Which I find odd, considering how consistently terrible England have been for most of my life. If there's one thing that brings the people of Scotland together, it's England losing at sport.

Cricket's eccentric as hell; the objectives often incomprehensible and bizarre, even to people who follow the game; it's impenetrable terminology has multiple ways of labeling the same things; the simple idea of who is winning and who is losing may be undiscernable for days; it can go on for five days and still end in a draw and they only decided to end matches like that because once, decades ago, a test match went on so long one team risked missing their boat back home; a series of five or more matches can go on for months; people are forced to keep playing long after the result has been decided; bowling and batting require completely different skills and techniques, yet some players master both; it's greatest trophy, The Ashes, is only contested by two nations and is, essentially, a self-deprecating shitpost; and one of the greatest memes of all time originates from a dropped catch in 2019.

youtube

But, because the people of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka love it like nothing else, it is the second most popular sport in the world. And I love it, too. Be it Mitchell Starc clean bowling Rory Burns with the first ball of the 2021/22 Ashes, beginning a series of quite staggering English ineptitude; or Virat Kohli, the greatest batter of this generation, hitting back-to-back sixes off Haris Rauf in front of 95,000 people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while leading India to an extraordinary win against Pakistan at the 2022 T20 World Cup, cricket offers dramatic moments of brilliance with a regularity other sports struggle to match.

If you want an idea of exactly how popular cricket is in India, Kohli has 60 million more instagram followers than Brady, Serena and LeBron combined. His is the 16th most followed account in the world. The only sports stars with larger followings are Messi and Ronaldo. Like the greatest players in any sport, time appears to slow down around him when he's at his best, his balance and timing perfect as he makes an almost impossible task look like the easiest thing in the world (batters have a fraction of a second to react to a ball being bowled at them. Against the fastest bowlers, they might not even be able to see the ball at all, instead relying on triggers and clues and experience to hit it.)

I picked up a love for cricket from my dad, who himself picked it up one rainy summer afternoon (what do you think happens in summer in Scotland?) when he was young and there were only two TV channels. He loves the great West Indian team of the 1970s and 80s like no other. They're probably his favourite thing in sporting history. A found love, rather than the familial support for Hibs he inherited from his father.

(For that, I'd recommend the excellent documentary, Fire In Babylon. No knowledge is needed, beyond that in cricket, unlike baseball, there is no restriction against a bowler aiming at the batter's body. And the West Indian team had a succession of players who bowled at the speed of light and terrorised batters across the world. They also had, in Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards, the two great batters of the - possibly any - era).

I missed much of their quarter century of dominance, being too young or not actually alive, but I do remember their last great bowlers, Courtney Walsh and Curtley Ambrose, while the great Trinidadian, Brian Lara, twice set records for the highest individual score in test cricket, first scoring 375, then an unbeaten 400, a record that still stands today and which may now never be bettered. Of course, both those scores came against England.

There was a lot of listening to cricket on the radio, driving places when we were on holiday in the summer. It was a summer sport then, coverage only following teams when they came to England. In the winter, when England went away, we got little, for this was the age before wall-to-wall sports TV.

For instance, I remember bits of Australia's 1993 Ashes rampage coinciding with daytrips along Hadrian's Wall, among other places, but I have no memory of the following, equally one-sided series in Australia in 1994/95.

Not that test cricket is at all rampageous, containing, as it does, breaks for lunch and tea, and even at it's most fast paced only has a ball bowled every 45 seconds or so, this being repeated about 500 times a day, with maybe 1 in 4 actually being scored from. You can miss great chunks of matches only to find nothing has fundamentally changed when you return. One man dressed in white hurls a small red ball at another, who most often declines the opportunity to hit it as it whizzes past. It is often as close to being a day-long nap as any sport can be.

Today, like football, the sport is played everywhere, all the time. The South Asian nations have spread it across the world, far beyond the borders of the British imperial possessions where the colonial administrators introduced it. Wherever there is a strong community of people from the subcontinent, cricket will be found and while there are less than a dozen full members of the ICC, there are now lots of associate members all competing against each other (the USA is the 18th-ranked men's ODI team, for example). There's almost always something to watch somewhere.

Powered by TV money (rights for the Indian Premier league are, on a per-game basis, now the second most expensive sporting event in the world, after the NFL) the compressed, high-scoring excitement of T20 has become the most popular format of cricket, which is bad for me. Because my preference is for the full-fat, slow-motion weirdness of a test match. It's what I grew up with and in my mind, the game is not for the swift. There's a reason they're called tests. The game should be an examination of technique and concentration and endurance that lasts for ages and ends with two poor bastards trying to scratch out a draw by batting for a day and a half because their side trails by 450 runs and the other 9 players on their team are idiots who got out in ridiculous ways. And then, after they inevitably fail, they do it again a week later. And maybe they lose horribly two more times and their team finds itself 3-0 down with two matches to play, but those matches still get played, even though they won't change the result of the series, because that's also part of the test. Or maybe it rains all summer and no matches are played, because the English, with maniac optimism, like to invent games that cannot be played if it's raining (see also: tennis).

I recognise that this is churlish of me. The women's game, like in so many other sports a niche afterthought, is being supercharged by an influx of cash from India, as the men's IPL has this year expanded into a women's tournament. The TV rights for this sold for £95m, the 5 franchises sold for half a billion. The top players - most players, probably - will make more from it than they do for the rest of the year. T20 is an extraordinary boost for the women's game, where tests are rarely played.

This is A Very Good Thing, but I'll always prefer tests.

Only three nations now have the economic power and talent pool to devote equal attention to all three formats of the game. Only England, India and Australia still play full test series against each other. The rest now play two- or maybe three-match series and only occasionally. The form the future of the game will take is in doubt. The West Indies might fracture amidst a proliferation of T20 franchise leagues, their players - naturally and understandably - touring the world and playing in half-a-dozen dozen leagues, their talents auctioned and drafted and paid far more than they get from tests.

But today I'm going to ignore the question marks about cricket's future and the maybe slow death of anything other than T20. Because today, one of the last remaining marquee matchups begins. Tomorrow, the women's T20 World Cup starts in South Africa. In a couple of months I will consume as much of the two IPLs as I can. In the summer, England will host Ashes series for both men and women that promise much. Australia's men currently holds the ridiculous little urn and are the top ranked side. England's men are actually very good right now and have many fine and likeable players, and a part of me finds that very irritating. Either or neither could win. For the other, England's women are also good, but Australia's are much gooder (for real. Ellyse Perry should be counted among the greatest female sports stars of all time. A world class bowler and batter, she has represented Australia at World Cups in both cricket and football).

All that is for tomorrow and beyond. Today, Australia's men begin a 4-match test series in India. India will probably win. It is incredibly hard to win anywhere as a touring team because weather and pitches vary a great deal from country to country and strongly favour the home team, no matter how lowly they are ranked. The West Indies comfortably beat England last year, and Australia struggled to a draw in Sri Lanka. And of all the places to tour, India is the hardest place to win of all. A series win in India is a rare and treasured thing.

The problem with touring India are the pitches. They are slow and dusty and - like most subcontinental tracks - favour the arcane arts of spin bowling, where a bowler uses his fingers or wrist to put spin on the ball in the hope that when it hits the pitch it grips and it's trajectory changes, deceiving the batter. Pitches are prepared to take advantage of this and push India's home field advantage as much as possible. Teams who play warm-up matches before tests in the hope of acclimatising will find placid, grassy pitches that offer not a hint of the demonic conditions the test series will likely bring. Cricket has never been a gentleman's game.

Australia have one, very very good spin bowler in Nathan Lyon and a number who are either untested or not good. They are likely to suffer against Indian batters who have known how to play spin since picking up a bat. India have Ravichandran Ashwin, also a very very good spinner, but in Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav they have several who are merely very good and likely to prosper against Australian batters who are less good away from Australia (Jadeja, injured for most of the last 6 months is arguably the best all-rounder in men's cricket today. A prodigiously talented bowler and batter, he is also among the best fielders in the men's game).

youtube

Australia have barely toured anywhere since the pandemic began, but their team has played very well at home and their glitchy batting goblins Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are incredibly good. I have hope they make the series competitive (though for me, their approaches to batting are too angularly idiosyncratic compared to the gloriously pure techniques of Kohli and Babar Azam of Pakistan). But I also hope that Kohli finds form and has a series for the ages.

The man's due.

PS Old Deadspin did a decent primer on cricket years ago and you can still read it, if you don't mind giving the site clicks...

The Ultimate Guide to Shoulder Season Travel: Best Places to Visit by Month

Traveling during the shoulder season is a savvy way to explore the world. These periods, nestled between the peak and off-peak times, offer travelers the best of both worlds: favorable weather, thinner crowds, and often, a gentler hit to the wallet. Each month unveils unique destinations where the conditions are just right for adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation. Here's a comprehensive month-by-month guide to planning your travels in the shoulder season, ensuring you get the most out of every trip.

Embark on a Journey Through Seasons and Continents

January: A Southern African Adventure

Kick off the year with the warmth of Southern Africa. South Africa basks in its summer glory, making it perfect for beach lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Botswana's green season paints the landscapes with life, offering spectacular safari experiences, while Namibia's milder desert climate allows for comfortable exploration of its otherworldly terrains.

February: Southeast Asian Wonders

February is the time to wander through Southeast Asia. From the cool but pleasant north of Vietnam to the dry and sunny south, the weather is inviting. Cambodia and Thailand offer clear skies for temple touring and island hopping, while Singapore shines with urban explorations minus the peak holiday throngs.

March: Blossoms and Autumn Hues

Witness Japan's iconic cherry blossoms or trek Nepal's clear paths. South Korea greets spring with vibrant celebrations. Down under, New Zealand and Australia showcase the beauty of autumn, providing a cooler yet still sunny escape.

April: From Islands to Ancient Lands

April's gentle weather is perfect in the Philippines for beach enthusiasts, in Peru for the Andes explorers, across Europe for early spring charm, in Egypt for historical sojourns without the scorching heat, and in Australia for those seeking milder autumn adventures.

May: Pre-Summer Escapes

Indonesia enters its dry season, Hawaii offers near-perfect climate conditions, Nicaragua starts warming up, the Mediterranean beckons with pre-summer warmth, and Iceland extends its daylight for endless exploration.

June: Cultural Riches and Natural Splendors

Experience Turkey and Georgia in their warm embrace, perfect for delving into history and nature. Costa Rica and El Salvador showcase their lush landscapes and biodiversity in the green season.

July: Monsoon Magic

India, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives offer a different perspective with the monsoon season—lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and unique travel deals.

August: Central Asian Charm

Explore the heart of the Silk Road in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, where comfortable summer weather makes for an ideal exploration of ancient cities and stunning vistas.

September: Fall's Early Glories

The Dolomites, Mexico, Canada, Norway, and the Mediterranean are spectacular in September, with mild weather perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the early signs of autumn.

October: A Kaleidoscope of Experiences

From the autumnal charm of Western Europe to the diverse climates of Brazil and the United States, and the beginning of the dry season in Colombia, Thailand, and Laos, October offers a palette of travel experiences.

November: Adventures and Explorations

As the year winds down, Morocco and Egypt cool down but remain sunny, Nicaragua and Patagonia burst with life, and Jordan and Oman invite desert explorations.

December: Winter Wonders and Tropical Retreats

Eastern Europe dazzles with festive spirit and snowy landscapes, while Kenya and Tanzania are prime for safaris. Panama and Guatemala offer a warm escape from the winter chill.

Wrapping Up the Year with Unforgettable Journeys

Traveling during the shoulder season allows for a deeper connection with the destinations, free from the constraints of peak tourist periods. Each month offers a gateway to diverse cultures, climates, and experiences. By choosing your destinations wisely based on the time of year, you can enjoy all the benefits of off-peak travel without compromising on the experience. From the cherry blossoms of Japan to the ancient wonders of Egypt, and from the green landscapes of Central America to the festive markets of Eastern Europe, there's a world waiting to be explored, with each month revealing its own unique charm. So pack your bags, and let's set off on a year-long adventure that promises the beauty of the world in the shoulder season.

Are you dreaming of a tropical paradise with stunning landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality? Look no further than the beautiful island of Sri Lanka!

Planning your Sri Lanka holidays can be an exciting adventure, but with so many options available, it's essential to choose the right vacation package for a memorable experience. Here are five tips to help you make the best decision for your dream trip.

Define Your Travel Preferences

Before diving into the sea of vacation packages, take a moment to reflect on what you truly want from your holidays to Sri Lanka. Are you an adventure seeker looking for thrilling activities like hiking and wildlife safaris? Or do you prefer a more relaxed beach getaway, soaking up the sun and enjoying the serene surroundings? Defining your travel preferences will help you narrow down the options and find a package that aligns with your interests.

Consider the type of accommodation you prefer, whether it's a cozy beachside bungalow, a luxurious resort, or a charming boutique hotel. This initial step sets the tone for your entire vacation experience.

Research Reputable Travel Agencies

Now that you have a clear idea of your preferences, it's time to find a trustworthy travel agency that specialises in holidays to Sri Lanka. Look for agencies with positive reviews, a good track record, and a reputation for excellent customer service. A reliable agency will not only help you choose the right package but also provide valuable insights into the local culture and attractions.

Read customer testimonials and explore online forums to gather feedback from fellow travellers who have experienced holidays to Sri Lanka through the agency you are considering. This research ensures a smoother planning process and a more enjoyable vacation.

Consider the Duration and Itinerary

The duration of your stay and the itinerary included in the vacation package play a crucial role in shaping your experience. Some packages may offer a whirlwind tour of the entire island in a short period, while others provide a more leisurely exploration of specific regions. Assess your available time and choose a package that allows you to make the most of your holidays to Sri Lanka without feeling rushed.

Check the itinerary for key attractions, cultural experiences, and any optional activities that align with your interests. Flexibility in the schedule is also important, giving you the freedom to explore on your own or indulge in spontaneous discoveries.

Inclusive vs. A La Carte Packages

When selecting a vacation package for your holidays to Sri Lanka, consider whether you prefer an all-inclusive option or an a la carte package. All-inclusive packages often cover accommodation, meals, transportation, and some activities, providing a hassle-free experience. On the other hand, a la carte options offer more flexibility, allowing you to customise your trip by choosing specific components.

Compare the cost and benefits of both types of packages to determine which suits your budget and preferences. Keep in mind any additional expenses, such as entrance fees to attractions or guided tours, are not included in the package.

Check for Seasonal Discounts and Special Offers

To make the most of your budget, be on the lookout for seasonal discounts and special offers when booking your holidays to Sri Lanka. Travel agencies often provide promotions during specific times of the year, so timing can significantly impact the overall cost of your vacation. Additionally, some packages may include extras like spa treatments, cultural shows, or complimentary excursions.

Subscribe to newsletters or follow the social media accounts of travel agencies to stay informed about upcoming promotions. This proactive approach ensures you snag the best deal for an unforgettable experience in Sri Lanka.

Conclusion

Planning your holidays to Sri Lanka involves careful consideration of your preferences, research on reputable travel agencies, attention to the itinerary, a decision between inclusive and a la carte packages, and taking advantage of seasonal discounts.

By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to selecting the perfect vacation package for a memorable journey to the enchanting island of Sri Lanka.
