Lucknow lesson

Book store owner Sanjay Misra was killed by a car when chasing a cricket ball in Lucknow in 2000. He was only playing in a make-up game in a park, but it is surprising this doesn’t happen more often at some venues during club matches in England. For example the charming common ground at Chorleywood, in Hertfordshire, has a busy road bordering one end that  could snare an unwary fielder overrunning a ball at the boundary.
