This is the introduction from a documentary I made alongside Robbie James.

Broadhalfpenny Down, nestled in the Hampshire countryside beside the iconic Bat & Ball Inn, is revered as the cradle of cricket — the site of the first official first-class match in 1772. For over three decades, Harry Bates has lovingly tended this historic ground, preserving its beauty and heritage with quiet dedication and an unwavering eye for detail. The film follows Harry and his wife Nina through their final season, facing the unpredictability of the English weather to the relentless challenges posed by mischievous moles. Their humour, resilience, and shared love for the game shine throughout.
