SPORTS & FITNESS"Two hours of social indoor cricket, with guaranteed batting and bowling."
Thursday cricket moves indoors at Insportz, where the hall is air-conditioned and the format makes sure everyone gets properly involved. Each innings runs for 16 overs, with every player guaranteed two overs of bowling and four overs batting in pairs — friendly enough for beginners, organised enough to keep seasoned players interested.
All the appeal of a social match. None of the August fielding conditions.
“RSVP before turning up so the organiser can balance the sides. Bring proper indoor trainers; heroic sliding is less impressive when it ends in the wall.”

“Insportz is in Al Quoz 3, close to Equiti Metro Station. Chilled water is provided, but bringing your own bottle remains sensible Thursday-night behaviour.”
