PHOTOGRAPHY, GRAFFITI & STREET ART, APRIL PROMPT
Cricket Ground Just Down the Road
April Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Graffiti & Street Art”
Home to Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.
This is the Bristol County Ground and it is literally just down the road from where I live. I have no interest in cricket at all, but I like that the cricket ground is there — it means there’s a large area of green in the middle of a lot of houses and it’s not likely to go anywhere because it’s quite important in the cricket world. (I gather.)
“The ground hosts One Day Internationals, usually one per year, with the addition of temporary seating to increase the ground’s capacity. England faced India in 2018 and Pakistan in 2019 at the ground. In addition, three matches were scheduled to be played at the ground as part of the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Of these three, 2 were abandoned without a ball being bowled due to bad weather. The only match played was Australia v Afghanistan — a match Australia won by 7 wickets.
The ground has long boundaries in comparison to most county cricket clubs.”
I have to keep an eye on the fixtures list, though, because it’s not a good idea to take your car out on a match day because you can never get it back in again.
I believe Gloucestershire is playing Yorkshire this weekend. Anyway, PupperJack and I had planned on staying at home.
The picture above is the art they’ve done on the wall facing the entrance to the grounds. Not surprisingly, it’s a cricketer.
