Surrey Phil Jun 2023 1:51pm, 9 Jun 2023 9,459 posts	0 Surrey Phil I think the most unusual ground I've seen is at Mitcham. The pitch is in the middle of a busy one-way system and the pavilion is on the other side of the road. There is a rule in place giving the incoming batter an extra minute to get to the wicket.

fetcheveryone Jun 2023 3:21pm, 9 Jun 2023 29,048 posts	0 fetcheveryone Here's a couple of trivia questions... 1) who was David Gower's only test wicket? 2) which wicket keeper bowled only one ball, and took one wicket, leaving him with the best strike rate the game has ever seen? I'll give you a clue, it was in the IPL.

fetcheveryone Jun 2023 3:27pm, 9 Jun 2023 29,049 posts	0 fetcheveryone 1) a good batsman yes, but not Crowe. 2) nope
paulcook Jun 2023 3:28pm, 9 Jun 2023 2,809 posts	0 paulcook I was also going to say an unlikely very good batsman, but no idea who or when.
