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 Bushy Park CC matches are frequently interrupted by incursions of deer; at Lyndhurst in the New Forest by wild ponies. At Kirkby Londsale CC in Cumbria thte local fungus group found 20 species of wax cap on the outfield. For some reason hoopoes, spectacular orange and black crest birds from southern Europe, favour cricket grounsd on their rare migrations to the UK. This unique cricket book explores the relationship between cricket grounds and the natural world, from wildlife records to the Edwardian cricket writings of Edmund Blunden, and many remarkable photos.<\/p>\n
