	Old Trafford (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The cricket ground is near the Old Trafford football stadium, in the borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester.
		In 1993, Old Trafford was the site of one of the most remarkable events in the history of cricket, Shane Warne's so-called Ball of the Century to Mike Gatting.
		The need for an improved ground was highlighted when Old Trafford surprisingly lost out as a venue for the 2009 Ashes to Cardiff, much to the disappointment of cricket fans in the region [3].

	Perspective UK North
		Cricket leads because it had, first, Neville Cardus (who wrote as if cricket were music, and music cricket), then John Arlott, master and apt pupil, to invest the game with a poetry of its own.
		Old Johnny Long, a player whose exploits had turned to brittle yellow paper in the pavilion, presented me with his first eleven cap one day when I was playing particularly well in practise.
		In effect, one-day cricket, which purists said was not proper cricket because it was vulgar compared with the stately progression of real county games, has translated itself into the longer contest.

		A sizeable question mark was hanging over English cricket's brave new world on Tuesday as the dust settled following their dramatic Old Trafford defeat to Pakistan.
		And England, after all, were unlucky to lose four wickets -- the first two those of the last recognised batsmen Ian Ward and Nick Knight -- to no-balls which were not spotted by the umpires in the final session of the match, even if some confident lbw shouts by Pakistan's bowlers went in their favour.
