Cricket
Here is a quote from Evan Esar to motivate you play cricket: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ... and Jill a rich widow. The only thing you need to start a cricket team in Tokyo is enthusiastic friends. Everything else will fall in place after that. We really look forward to play on week ends. The games are really competitive. Sometimes we get so much stressed at the ground that team mates are advised to use stress reducing techniques such as working in the office.
Many years ago we played cricket in a Kiba park. Then we moved to Kawasaki so started near the river banks. Then we moved near Higashi ojima so started playing in Higashi-Ojima park. We are not allowed to play in Higashi-Ojima park after 9:00 AM. So we start playing at 6:45 AM and finish by 9:00 AM. We started with one bat, now we have at least 5 bats and an extra set of stumps.
