Re: Highams Playing Fields
I would expect a proper cricket club to have a decent grass wicket but is it feasible to have one in the middle of municipal playing fields.
I played on a few Astroturf wickets, years ago and they were surprisingly good surfaces to play on. The Astroturf was removed outside of the cricket season just as the goal posts were removed during Summer.
The wicket on Highams was roped off and when a ball went onto it, someone wearing ordinary shoes retrieved the ball.
