[Number4]

Teas I can understand.. Tbh, they should be at the end or not at all and sack off the mid game break. Scoreboard though is pretty important.. Twelfth man running around but no scoreboard?? Very odd

We have a drinks break mid game due to the heat we play in out here which also helps with the status of the game... Anywhere from 35 to mid 40's and high humidity. It's quite easy to become very dehydrated.

Do you play parks cricket or is it your ground no.4?

All grounds here are council owned grounds if that's what you mean.

And during the winter all grounds are multipurposed i.e Soccer, league, AFL

Well, that may mean different in uk to you in aus.

In uk a council owned ground can be rented to you on a long term agreement, You'd theb in charge as if you owned it. You get to choose when and who plays on it, build your club house, add nets ect and the council just come and cut the grass/pitch ready for games.

or

There's the council pitches that are 2or 3 in a park. A porta cabin to change in, and it's no ones ground, hired on a season by season basis or game buy game for friendlies and such.
No scoreboard at these, team has to bring there own portable one to adhere to league rules.

All clubs here have to supply their own ground staff/curators. There is a grounds committee who made any decision on any ground changes/upgrades

See, different countries do different things,

We used to rent ours. But two years ago we took over the lease, so now are in charge off everything, it means are ground is too a higher standard, but it takes a lot of work and effort to get there and maintain it.


As for scoreboard, we had a old windy thing,t hat was ripped, and faded, and hard to see from the middle. So we raised funds. A few raffles at dinner, and a bucket at the bar to put change in.
Two years later I bought us this.



It's amazing what abit of fund raising can do.

We also have 6 teams and only 2 grounds so 2 teams have to share grounds with other teams.

Scoreboards aren't a necessity. I've played at many grounds without them.

but, like sightscreens, they're pretty damn close!

[Cedrictoad]

and once you get used to them there is no going back!

[Manormanic]

gets a bit annoying shouting for updates between overs!

[Cedrictoad]

and you at least know when you are in the nineties...

[Manormanic]

unless thats your bowling analysis!

the ironic applause as you bring up the sidecar... something that needs to be appreciated in the flesh!
