Cricket is Kind of Creepy

I took this photo of the Auckland Museum a few weeks ago. The museum is set inside a really pretty park that covers an old volcano. There are a bunch of sports fields surrounding the museum and on weekends, there are usually a bunch of cricket games. 

I've never seen cricket played in real life before so it's a little weird to see men dressed up in really white clothes playing some ball game. But beyond my unfamiliarity with the game, the whole scene was a little unsettling for me. There were dozens of these guys in white walking around this field. With all of them wearing the same crisp white uniform, it made me think that they all had the exact same intention like some sort of cricket cult. They might all want to play cricket, or they might all want to do something more sinister, like kill.
