Can any of you cricketing types tell me why you have got into the habit of digging a great foxhole merely to mark where you are going to put the toe of your bat?
Speaking from a groundsman's point of view-who has to repair the bloody things-it would seem to be a pretty needless state of affairs.
The same goes for you bowlers digging a trench with your spikes to mark your run-up. Markers are available to buy from various sports shops and online stores -
