sport.wikisort.org - StadiumSchool Field Ground is a sports ground owned by Cranbrook School located in the town of Cranbrook, Kent. It is known by the school as Big Side Playing Field.[1] The field, which is 4.63 hectares (11.4 acres) in size, is used by the school for cricket, rugby union and hockey.[2]
Cricket history
The ground has been used as a cricket field since at least the mid 19th century, at which point it was in private hands.[3] Kent County Cricket Club played two first-class cricket matches on a ground specifically prepared on the site, one in 1850 and the other in 1851, both against England XIs.[4][5] Kent also played two first-class matches at nearby Swifts Park in 1862–63.[6]
The ground has been used by the school since the 1940s,[3] including for matches against teams such as MCC. Both a South African Universities team and a South Africa Schools XI played on the ground in 1967 whilst apartheid was in operation. In July 1968 Free Foresters played a United States team on the ground.[7]
