Sporting Events

Cricket has never been a more popular sport, not least because of investment in a range of country grounds, the increasing popularity of Twenty20, and the thrilling professionalism of the county teams.

From the perfect sight of a cricket match played on a village green in late afternoon sunlight to the grandeur and excitement of an England test match at Lords, cricket offers so much to the spectator.
