Worth all the effort

 

Up to now all the Middlesex games at the school have been on the old School First XI pitch but on Sunday we saw T20 cricket on our own pitch and judging by what we saw it's as much a road as we clubbies find it. Very proud and the culmination of 15 years of committee meetings and architects and accountants offices. With a bit of luck the rain will stop in the next three days and we'll be a first class ground. "Where are we playing on Saturday?" "on the County Ground". Only complaint? Doombar! Even better photos than mine, by Jay Blanche here.
