Was watching a game at Downend, Bristol, many years ago, lovely little ground (where WG played) roads on two sides and a house on another, tiny ground. The lady who lived in the house next to ground came and set up a picnic on the square saying she had had enough of the cricket balls going into her garden. Now that ground has been there about a thousand years, so she must have had an idea that would be the case when buying the house.
Rumour has it that Tres scored a double hundred there in an U15 20/20 game, my mates dad claims to have seen it.

Had a game stopped by the police once batsman hit the ball into a garden fielder went to get it got into an argument with the resident who wouldn't give him the ball back he called the police stated the fielder had been abusive police came to the ground with the resident and brought the ball back arguement broke out in the pavillion police warned the fielder.

One of our players was doing the dirty on his mrs.
and she came to game and was trying to knock him out when he was fielding haha
he went off to sort it out and we played with 10 for a bit

Playing a game in Hale Barnes Manchester when a helicopter landed on the pitch and dropped off a family that had been shopping at Harrods. Apparently they give the club £200 every time it lands and takes off. Keeps it at the airport, how the other half live just walked through the gate at the back of the house.

Don't joke about it - the snowflake culture nowadays is bad enough you can imagine a court backing the stupid b****

Oh i almost forgot, we played away once an a hot air ballon landed on the pitch. The home team captain received a bottle of whiskey from the pilot, which is apparently the custom. Our team didn't get a drop of it.

20/20 finals day won the semi final
Wicket keepers Mrs turned up before the final and dragged him away saying he needs to spend more time with his family leaving us with no keeper.
-
Played a school game many moons ago and the game was held up by someone running across the pitch with 3 policemen in hot pursuit.
Most recent one was at Bushy Park where a herd (?) of deer ran across the pitch causing a bit of chaos amongst the fielding team!
-
Once had a Sunday league game held up at Queen’s Park chesterfield because a group of about 30 “youths” decided one of them needed the crap kicking out of them and he circled the squat trying to escape, quite amusing to watch from the balcony, out two set batsmen got out fairly quickly after that though
-
Motorbike across the ground used to be a regular occurrence during games at our old 3rds ground
-
A lot time back Had a herd of cows come across the pitch. Few of them were pretty aggressive - we were off for a while and they left some lovely marks on the pitch
Village cricket :D
-
Had quite a few -
Game in Peterborough the outfield had a very popular public footpath around 10m inside the boundary, one family decided they were going to stop and sit on said footpath and have a picnic. Weren’t too pleased when we told them to move on.
Game in Luton stopped as a moped went across the square while we were playing. Incidently half the car park was closed when we arrived to the game that day as someone has been recently murdered in their car and it was still an active crime scene.
Played a tour match in a deer park (in Cornwall/Devon I think) and the game had to be delayed for around 10-15mins while all The deer made their way across the outfield.
Had a game stopped for around an hour while an air ambulance waiting to move a patient into an ambulance.
Finally played a game at Bashley on tour and the fielder/bowler refused to touch the ball after it had been hit onto the power lines that run over the ground.
-
At a midweek game last season we turned up and there were a load of travellers on the field next to the pitch.
We didn't think this was an issue so carried on as normal. A few overs into the first innings we had to halt the game as they all drove off. Caravans, pickups and transit vans stopped play...
-
Love this thread!!!! Reminds me why I play local club cricket (when i can nowadays), greatest/oddest game in the world.
:)

In this US, grounds are often shared with other sports. This usually means soccer or American football, and usually means that only one sport is being played at a time. But once every year, they have a bunch of races held in a huge field. And this means stopping every few overs as the kids run through your part of the field.

Watched a game in the Cherwell League a few years back, the police turned up, asked about some bloke then walked out to the middle and arrested one of the batsman, they then put him in the back of their car and drove off, still in his kit. In the score book he was given out Retired.
Way back we had a bunch of kids joy riding a car across the pitch while we were playing Rugby. Motor bikes were very common
-
Last season was the first to turn up for an home game to find caravans on the ground the woman who runs the village hall ot the ground had rented the hall out to a caravan club for a country and western night and told no one

Did they at least allow him to bring his bat?

Have had a game suspended due to sun reflecting off a nearby roof behind the bowlers arm but nothing like that! Haha

Club had a match delayed while we all took cover from a lion someone had reported in Southampton. It was a stuffed toy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-13491268 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-13491268)
Also had a school match delayed while a glider landed. He was a cricket fan so skirted round the square. We sold him a load of raffle tickets as ground rental.

On the committee at South Wilts CC in Salisbury. Used to play in the Birmingham League years ago but 2 fake knees put paid to that. Got a lad on The Hants Academy so see a lot of the local Southern Prem and Hants League.
