But the idea of a table-tennis pitch, chess pitch, ice-skating pitch and swimming pitch makes me cringe. That's not bashing a square peg into a round hole, that's shoving a camel through the eye of a needle. It can be done, with a hydraulic press, but the camel isn't much use afterwards (unless you like camel soup). "Field of play" might encompass football, rugby, soccer, baseball, and even tennis. Misleading, but good enough, for cricket (nobody understands the rules anyway, so a terminological error is OK). Still wrong for ice-skating and swimming. -- Paul
