Winter Cricket > Summer Cricket?

Is it? I reckon so.

Perhaps there’s some recency bias going on and also there’s the fact that the teams playing this winter have provided some fantastic games of cricket - but I think when it comes to international cricket I prefer winter to summer.

Pakistan v England
NZ v England
Australia v India
SA v Pakistan
Zimbabwe v Afghanistan - which I’m really enjoying watching.

Then we’ve got SL v Australia to come which I expect will be played on absolute raging bunsens :lol:

Hands down Durham CCC for me kicks the arse of everything and everyone 99% of the time but they don’t play in winter, so in terms of Tests I reckon winter cricket is a much better watch than English summers.

Full agree -but then I'm someone who avoids all social media (and possibly much social life...) to watch these games on catch up, so all this content fills in the dark winter hours extremely well.
 
To think we had to wait until 1990 to see the first fully televised live tour series featuring England.

Didn't apply to me at the time as I didn't have Sky but it's great now that virtually every international series in our winter can be viewed either on Sky, TNT or YT.
 
Test cricket is by far my favourite sport but the spread over the year is lopsided to say the least, Norther Hemisphere summers only really has England games and then we get 3 or 4 series around our winter.. I do like the county championship on YouTube though :lol:
