Drinks

What is it with drinks? This summer has been very cool and wet so we've been lucky to be playing, if we are playing at all. And yet, as the clouds loom, in club cricket you hear the two captains discussing drinks and whether one set or two is appropriate! It's an afternoon game - no sets of drinks is what is required!

Perhaps, we (as in Club players) have learnt this from the hourly drinks breaks in Test matches? In club cricket the batsmen may need a quick drink between overs if they bat through the innings, but apart from that, do we really need to continue this obsession with drinks? We all have things to do in the evening....
