I played at Merchant's Taylors on tour recently and the facilities are brilliant (indoor nets are the best I've seen) and the wicket played like a mid season pitch even after all the rain recently.

Honestly absolutely unreal!

Back in the 80's my place of work had a cricket net. If the bowler had a run up of more than three paces they had to start on a raised traffic island, drop down a kerb, cross a car park access road, jump up another kerb and deliver. At least it mostly had a net though.

Wow I’ve never heard of offices or employers having cricket facilities

Dan, do you want a worse facility? At least the concrete at Slindon is largely flat.

@@ourCRiCKET_ it’s a long story as my club is new and developing and we’ve taken over the old ground of a club now folded. The nets look very similar to Slinden, the Astro turf on our wicket however is something to behold. The concrete has somehow warped so the surface is no longer flat.

4:12 is literally us at school

The first net (without the net) is the perfect place for the England team to practice before the tour to India and the subcontinent. 😂😂

Both facilities are unique in their own way. But let's be honest, Merchant Taylor is absolutely amazing. Proper pro facility that.

The club I play at has a terrible net although it has a net but the surface is a mat that is out on top of graves as the chap who put it in was an undertaker

Not saying my school was poorly funded but we used to have to practice on the long jump run up which was not ideal for me as wicket keeper

Played an away school game there last season, absolutely beautiful square, there’s quite a few pitches so even the junior team I played in got a really nice pitch, it’s a long away game especially with traffic on the M25 but as a wicketkeeper those pitches are really great to play on so am looking forward to going back this season

Let’s do it!

Feels a bit wrong that most state school kids would be overjoyed with the worst option if you put a bit of astro on it, and the only reason the kids play in the best option is because their parents have got loadsamoney rather than any kind of talent. "Lovely shot Bertie, maybe we can stop your helmet falling of your chinless head by using a bit of tape. I've got your inhaler here"

The reason why the nets are so bad so they don't have to train usually that's why.
