The peak time for arranging cricket fixtures is the second week of January and, around 10th January 2021, it did not look great. There was a serious new variant of Covid (? Kent, ? Delta) and London was on Tier 4 Restrictions (remember them?) There were even some comments in the press that the capital should be subject to a new Tier (Tier 5 - chained to the mattress??)
Anyway, by Mid-February the clouds had lifted a little and 5 matches had been arranged for the summer. By the start of the cricket season, lockdown was all but over and a few more fixtures had dropped in our laps and, with Ramadan in late April and early May, normal cricket (Nomads-style) was due back on 6/6/21.
