Cricket in Dubai

The Gulf News has reported in several stories that most of the Dubai cricket pitches have been appropriated for development of commercial or residential buildings.

While wandering about, I managed to find at least one available pitch, not enough, of course, and with limited spectator seating, but at least it's a pitch.

It is located inside Zabeel Park, and seems to be the only cricket pitch operated by the Dubai Parks authority. Thanks to copious quantities of desalinated water, it looks as green as a pitch back in England.
