Cricket In Wroclaw

Does anyone know of any cricket that is played in Wroclaw, i do realize it might not be the right season for it here, but any help would be great, also interested in Rugby if anyone knows that to.

davidpeake,

I doubt that you'll find a cricket team here. You might find a rugby team connected to the university, I'm not sure. We do have an American Football team, 'the Crew'

Well it seems that their is almost a cricket team in the area....2 Englishmen(!!), ask Sudheer as well, put an ad in local paper!!

frank, who are the 2 Englishmen, not me i hope, i'm Australian

Its Ok........David....can't you pretend..the balls the same shape, local Polish people won't be able to tell the difference, well at least initially !!!...lol

I'd safely say, if you got a team together, you'd easily be in the local news....think of the publicity, good vibs!

A team needs someone to play against.

hey Frank, just did a quick search on google and found this link cricket.pl/index.html

looks like there is cricket played here, and yes thats true Wroclaw, we would need more than just one side.

davidpeake,

I don't mind playing, if you start a team. I just hate watching the game.

OK...so it Wroclaw versus the West Indies on their East European tour 2011, better get in training....

We have to talk tactics in the pub first.

Lol.......really.....so 8 pints to every hours training.........can you bowl with a beer/pure orange belly?....lol

I will be moving to Poland in about a year, however i'm not going to be in wroclaw. I would love to again start playing cricket or "krykiet" as we Poles call it.

I grew up in australia, so naturally, i'm a gifted cricketer as well!!!!!

What i really want to know is about rugby in pl.

Where is it played, is it popular, what kind of crowd does it attract, is there a big rugby culture? Would love to hear from anyone who lpays rugby in pl.

Hey Wroclaw,

I agree beer for training and concetration is a great idea

Hmmm I need to be more online out here...

I am ready... when are we starting the practising. Its quite possible to play with three persons...

I am sure we can pull out some students from the university, I am sure there are a handful of them fromt he cricket playing nations..

Wouldn't fancy facing a quickie on a wicket with permafrost. oops I forgot the weather is unseasonably warm out there

I never thought I'd see a thread on cricket in a Polish forum.

cricket played in Poland would be highly unlikely

Maybe a quick read before you post:)

it maybe played but cricket as a national sport
poland snows 3/4 of the year roughly

when was the last time you have been to Poland???? Looking out the window at the moment its 19C and sunshine lol

in the summertime maybe but when winter comes people flee the street due to the cold waether

looking outside your window again are there any polish children playing cricket?

God there is always one!!!! I'm not trying to make the minority the rule but you seem to be... we get "maybe maybe" 2 months of snow but even that seems to be less and less in today’s "climate". And, as to "looking outside your window again are there any polish children playing cricket" nope can’t see any! and wouldn’t expect to see any as it is not popular in Poland at all.

cricket is a sport best played in warmer climate regions
and Poland is in the eastern part of europe
i agree cricket is played in Poland
but do will poland play internationally is the question

Oh come on! I am not going to get into an argument over Cricket that just wouldn’t be Cricket old boy. Have a great day

okay so we both agree cricket is played in poland
