Cradle of Cricket

A beautiful cricket ground in Hampshire, opposite the Bat & Ball Inn. ​Formed in around 1750, was responsible for the development of the laws of cricket.

Pointless vandalism at the club just before the marquee went to bed for the winter. Also slashed cricket net and new net designed to protect users of the pub garden. Turned up at 0530 and CCTV not clear enough to pass on to police.

I wonder what these two are up to today 🧐 @jackrussellart @GladstoneSmall

All England fell 3 runs short in an exciting finish but losing 2 wickets in the last over left them with too much to do. A day where cricket was the winner. 🏏

All England need 100 more runs off 15 overs with 5 wickets left.
