It\u2019s a fun, fast-paced version of regular cricket, with each team bowling just 20 overs instead of the usual 220! That means the game lasts for a few hours (rather than four or five days!) and batters take much bigger risks to gather runs quickly. Expect plenty of balls flying, bats swinging and wickets tumbling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot-1024x708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot-1024x708.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Cricket-action-shot.jpg 1401w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>DID YOU KNOW? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Before the batsmen can be declared \u2018out\u2019 in cricket, the fielding team have to shout \u201cHowzat?!\u201d at the umpire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Meet Caeser the lion<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:52% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ceaser-the-Lion-1-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245830 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ceaser-the-Lion-1-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ceaser-the-Lion-1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ceaser-the-Lion-1-768x995.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Ceaser-the-Lion-1.jpg 792w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The XBOX Family Zone is a special area where you can take part in competitions and games, plus you can meet the friendly mascot Caesar the Lion and your favourite players for autograph signings!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Check out the T20 home fixtures!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey v Glamorgan &#8211; 27th May<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">S<strong>urrey vs Gloucestershire &#8211; 31st May<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey vs Hampshire Hawks &#8211; 2 June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey vs Sussex Sharks &#8211; 8 June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey vs Middlesex &#8211; 17 June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey vs Somerset &#8211; 21 June<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Surrey vs Kent Spitfires &#8211; 1 July<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tickets.surreycricket.com\/content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Join the Pride<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 53%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"758\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PRIDE-OF-LIONS-1024x758.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-245864 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PRIDE-OF-LIONS-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PRIDE-OF-LIONS-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PRIDE-OF-LIONS-768x568.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PRIDE-OF-LIONS.jpg 1258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Cricket-mad under-16s can join the Pride of Lions membership scheme for just \u00a320!
