Being one of the members of my team who is a regular for boundary patrol at either cow corner, deep square or deep point, please wish me luck for this weekends game.
i say wish me luck as i am playing on a pitch that is directly next to another pitch that where the boundary overlaps. i could be fielding deep point or deep square on our pitch and at short square or short point on the next pitch. I may have to field in the deep with a lid!!

Ive even done a self portrait to show you where i may be. (must admit, i am quite arty!)

It surely can't overlap that close to the square. Are you sure there is 2 games on there this weekend?

I played on a ground with 3 squares, if there are 2 games on they they USAF the outside 2 with the boundaries going up to the middle square and if there is only one game then they use the middle wicket

[Burdy]

I can promise you that the boundary stops at the square on both pitches. I have played at both of these pitches for a number of years. I am sure that Canners has also played here in his time in the league.

And yes, there are always 2 games going on as both of the squares are owned by 2 different teams

I can safely say that that has never happened to me, fields I play on are always big which means I rarely hit 6's, ahah lol.

This is similar to Leigh on Seas ground where their 4ths and 5ths play, they overlap sometimes

[Burdy]

The ground is Leigh on sea and Westcliff, didnt know there 4th - 5th teams ground does it also. Think i may try and sneek into the slips the weekend

[Canners]

might overtake you on the way there mate we're playing old souths this weekend

Kenilworth wardens is similar....ish to this.

[Burdy]

If you skittle them out for not many Canners pop over on the way through, you may even see a rare sight and see me bowling!!  ok, maybe not. might go and do the sarf'end circuit on the seafront

[Byo]

Got the same situation myself this weekend - both pitches share the same boundary!!!  Luckily I have a jelly arm and dont find myself patrolling the boundary that often 

[Simmy]

as if you can play like that wtf?
id just refuse to play absolute joke!

i get mad enough when playing for nicks team when we have no upmires lol

Similar but dont overlap

[uknsaunders]

for the slow people here, are you saying that the boundaries meet or actually overlap ie. you are standing on another teams pitch and they are fielding on yours?

[Simmy]

nick by the looks of things the boundraie on the right pitch is practically on the square!! of the other so they over lap lol

Yes that's right. What he is saying is that where he could be standing is deep square leg on his pitch and short point on the other pitch. On the same token deep cover on the left square pitch is short point on the pitch Burdy is playing on.
Never seen that before, we've had shared boundaries but never overlapping boundaries. Odd.
