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.

Thanks - not great if you are a bowler, the pitch is pretty flat, in 50 overs, 280 is a par score, but lovely facilities. At Headley where i play on a sunday, it is equally as lovely, just a real old school village club. I am very lucky with where I play

yes - they have junior wimbledon and the wimbledon qualifiers their in the summer - it is a cracking facility - I only wish I was able to use it more. I used to live 5 min from the ground, but moved out of town to get a bigger house - four bedroom places with large gardens aren't so cheap in Putney/Barnes!!!

these 2 grounds are where i play friendly cricket at....

Bridgetown CC (West Somerset)- Won the Daily Mail Prettiest Ground Competition in the whole country in 2008. Is also Ian Bothams favourite ground. Thatched pavillion, river running down the side with a wooden bridge over to the ground. Nice views all around, perfect!

http://www.bridgetowncc.co.uk/index.html

Timberscombe CC (West Somerset)- I'm vice captain for the friendly side here, in my opinion its not as nice as Bridgetown but still a very nice ground! Really good views all around, the website doesn't have the best pics but you get the idea :D

I've only been to bridgetown once, but despite smal I fell in love with it, the small hut takes you back to old times, but it gives the ground that feeling. Only problem is the toliets lol
