Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on April 21, 2006 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

What a great website! I was trying to think of the one two three alary game – and I think now I have all of them. We used to have ten tricks and they got harder as you went (clapsie, double clapsies, waterfall, etc.). Also to the lady from Toronto with the ball in the toe of a sock – I grew up in small town BC – we used to say “hello hello hello sir, can you come out to play, sir, no sir, why sir, because I have a cold sir, where did you get the cold sir, behind the kitchen door sir, etc.

Hi all, I grew up in Brooklyn (Flatbush to be exact) and graduated from Erasmus in 1958. Over the years I have tried to spread the beauty and elegance of our language only to be met by indifference and even disbelief. I hope the language is still strong and I’d like to confirm this by checking out my pronunciation with Brooklyners from my age group but also with younger speakers to see if things have changed.

I play street cricket a lot, is juts really fun, we use a chair or a box, chalk, taped (insulating tape) tennis ball (or not taped) and easy wood made bats (kind of big)…i’m from Bolivia where the cricket isn’t even a minor sport but i know the game from a friend who used to have a pakistani friend…kind of weird, i will love to share street cricket experiences whit people from arround the world, i even translate a Cricket for beginners guide into spanish because i love the street cricket.
