No match today. Just a groundsman inspecting the pitch.

Looks worse for wear,  although who's sleeping in the tents?

Great shot Mr. B.    Pretty cool mowing pattern.

Thanks RDB. Just across the way from my daughter's house.

Nice shot. I like how the mowing patterns show up. Those worn looking strips must be the ones most used.

Thanks.  Yes, the wickets are moved periodically to avoid excess wear in one place.

Afraid not,   I gave up cricket when the bowler tried to kill me.

I played at Junior school and absolutely loved it,   the school had a separate sports field with cricket, and a swimming pool a short walk from the school so it was lovely to go there in sun and play,  went up to senior school and started going to the cricket club only to find that the bowler was the deputy head of PE and he bowled to kill.

Thanks Monty.
I was hoping there might be a match going on, so I could snap a bit of action.
But no such luck.
