The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Merchant taylors, I love playing there, scored my first county 50, first county 100 and still haven't lost playing there, my favorite ground of all time.

We talking about the pavillion with each changing room on opposite sides and the roof balcony up top? Love playing there :)

This year, our closest is Minehead, and our furthest is every other week when travelling to Bristol. So Minehead's must be even worse lol, being an exra 20 miles further away than us.

Although the pavillion at MTS Crosby does/did have the changing rooms facing each other, though upstairs just had the scorer's box.

Shortest trip I have done from a home ground to an away game is a road width - Marlow CC and Marlow Park CC are seperated by a dirt road. 5/6 yards?

One of Johan, do Southgate play Southgate Adelaide? They share the same field from memory.

I don't play for Southgate but I'm sure they do play. I score for Southgate, though they've been trying to get me to go there lol!
I play for Highgate, nearest game has been a mile to Old Finchleans last weekend.
Furthest was the weekend before - 50 miles to Cublington (Golders' lot!).

Though Southgate and SACC don't like each other much I don't think ;) - swamidude can tell you...

My nearest away game is a 120 metre walk from our pitch the our rivals. Furthest is probably just over an hour to the back of beyond inbred banjo country (No Swearing Please) hole that is Hexton

We share our ground in midweek with another team, so we don't have to travel far when we play them away :)
