love to know the final scorecard for that game. Remember these are highlights and it won't have played like this for every ball!

I remember the 86/87 ashes test had similar cracks on the final day. Everytime Edmonds/Emburey hit a crack it turned miles and nobody could get a bat near it - likewise miss the crack it was a road. Australia played the final day out with comfort.

Best - Winchmore Hill - Bournemouth - Ilford back in the day - Hsbc

Worst - Benfleet - Chelmsford (always windy!)

Best - Uppingham School, Stamford School, Oakham, Bourne, Sleaford, all bowlers graveyards, flat and hard.

Worst - Claypole, you cant tell the wicket from the outfield and you had better lock your car.

Forgot to add a CORKER!!

Dont know it will fall in best or worst as it can be entertaining but dangerous.

Westcliff CC or Leigh on sea cc. The pitches are side by side and the boundary overlaps, and sometimes to the square of either pitch. you can be fielding at deep point or deep square, but actually be 10 yards from the batsmen

Best York CC, Beckwithshaw CC, Harrogate CC
Worst Thirsk, Fenner

Henly is a shocking ground. Also played a game in a bad part of coventry with 3 burnt out cars by the side of the pitch....

yes - Pacman is on about Henley on Thames. Nice ground, prone to flooding.

Having visited both and played on the former, agreed! Although St Austell's up there, mainly because it's in St Austell and anything that isn't nailed down will be nicked...
