These are used to warm up and practice Bowelling and batting for cricket.
Previously they were tagged leisure=pitch and sport=cricket_net ...
But someone has pointed out that this in not a sport...
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dcricket_nets
so
sport_practice=cricket_net
A documented suggestion is to use sport=cricket, barrier=fence .. but
the argument is it is NOT A SPORT so you cannot use sport= anything! :-P
The suggestion is on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport
I'd think similar 'restrictions' will be imposed by the pedantic on
other pitches that are only used for practice ..for example - half sized
basketball courts - only used for practice .. not full sized due to
space restrictions. So not a sport.. just practice.
There are similar concerns for sport=exercise, sport=fitness .. these
too are not sports..
So .. what tag to use? leisure=pitch still suits.
nonsport= ? :-)
