A close cousin is Beach Cricket. The perfect opportunity to buy a $2 rubber ball from Toy Kingdom and spend 4 hours with your mates either trying to knock each others heads off, or vieing for that elusive perfect hookshot. I don't know the intricacies of playing at a surf beach, but I can tell you now there's few things funnier than playing in the Murray River, and making the bowler swim for a ball ("you bowled the shit mate, you swim for it") and seeing him get swept a kay down stream and walk back absolutely rooted. Great times...
