Everyone's image of the ideal cricket ground will be a village
field, fringed by trees, the outfield dappled with clovers and
buttercups, swallows flitting above... And what of all the other
wildlife associated with this most natural of sports? At the Oval
these days, Test Match Special's commentators remark on the
resident foxes as often as the traditional pigeons. At Teddington
Town CC in London's Bushy Park matches are frequently interrupted
by incursions of deer; at Lyndhurst in the New Forest by wild
ponies. At Kirkby Lonsdale CC in Cumbria the local fungus group
found 20 species of waxcap on the outfield. For some reason
hoopoes, spectacular orange and black-crested birds from southern
Europe, favour cricket grounds on their rare migrations to the UK.
This unique, funny, delightful cricket book from left field
explores the relationship between cricket grounds and the natural
world, from wildlife records to the Edwardian cricket writings of
Edmund Blunden, and in many remarkable photos.
