Action cricket is a good, fun game for sure, and 39R sounds pretty cheap. I play in the local leagues in Petone, New Zealand and it is very enjoyable, as regardless of standard; you can still have a good game.

Sadly, Cape Town is a bit too far for me to travel, but good luck with it!

I could probably google this but what is action cricket?

[Andy Mellon]

Indoor Cricket in New Zealand, but in England Indoor Cricket is not the same as Action Cricket.

Action Cricket = half the distance to run for the batsmen, batsmen get to face 4 overs each and lose 5 runs for each dismissal.
Indoor Cricket = full pitch length for batsmen, hard ball so pads & gloves a necessity, one run for hitting the wall and once you are out, you're out.

Very different games.

Thanks Andy I used to play indoor in my early teens (otherwise known as action cricket it seems) loved the game. I think when I stop living in a one horse town I'll get back into it, it's pretty tiring though despite the small area when I played we pretty much ran on every delivery with the non-striker aiming to arrive at the other end about the same time as the ball.

Sadly I cant play for our friend in Cape Town as the commute would be a bit much.
