The Groundsman

The hidden man who has seen it all. First to arrive at the ground, last to leave. He knows the club like the back of his hand. From the amount of fist-shaped holes in the changing rooms to where the spare bails are kept. This photo series showcases cricket grounds around the world from their angle. Behind the scenes. From amateur to professional level.
