i played at the chestefield (derby county ground) this season, beatiful wicket and you could see the twisted spire through the trees (teas were suber aswell ) :D:D

Probably the Saffrons at Eastbourne, but my reputation is a player who misses out on the good ones but will make 50 or 60 on a sticky dog... so maybe the best wickets Ive played on are the green, wet, uncovered and underprepared ones from anywhere around the country!

The county ground at Taunton. Best batting track in the country or it was back then. Once you get in, you can't fail.

Uppingham School... WOW

[Mr Cricket]

its a venue for Leics County Championship games, just unreal

Best club grounds I have played at -
Deane Park Bournemouth
North Perrott (when the old groundsman was there, gone down hill now)
Bath
Frocester (road and small boundaries)
Truro
Lansdown (always scored runs there)
The ground in Bishops Lydeard where M&H and then Bradbury had their factory.

Marlow in Bucks. Best allrounder cricket wicket I played on. Pace, bounce, turned a bit and the overhead conditions had a bit in it for the swing bowlers. Here's this years example:-

but I could be biased....

Humm school pitches - I have played at Bryanston, Canford, Milfield and many other decent west country school tracks... The Canford one was probably the quickest of them.

I have also played at Bryanston School. Decent place, was only Under13 at the time though

Lansdown has been a lovely wicket every time I've played there, even though it rained all week prior to a game once....!
I agree with you about North Perrott's wicket as it was surprisingly bad when I played last year, but as you said its probably to do with the groundsman!
Bishops Lydeard is also a nice ground, only 25 mins from here

Also played at dean park, when in the under13's. I was the only to miss out with 9 and everyone else retiring on 25!

Agreed on North Perrot, was great with the old groundsman. Nice clubhouse as well. Nearly slipped down the staircase going out to bat!

Same! Poor design really, metal on metal is a bit scary!

Culford school, Fairly decent wicket offers a bit for everyone but more a lovely scene to play cricket

Lansdowne has been superb everytime i played there. I played there about 4 years ago. They hit 298 and we got them for 2 in 43 overs. They had ex England bowler Paul Jarvis playing and he went round the park for 90 odd of his 12 overs !!!

North Perrot used to be the best around when Tom Parkman did the ground. Lots of politics at the club now hence why a few have left the club and they have gown down the leagues.


I don't mean the main Bishops Lydeard ground (that is ok) but there is another ground down in the village. It gets very little use.


Played at Dean Park for the Somerset pick of the league years ago. Very nice ground for batting, not so good for bowling....as i found out
