This match will be played at Sheffield Park, Sussex, a ground that has played an important part in English cricket history. In 1876 a cricket field was established and The Australian XI opened their tour their between 1884 and 1896. Lord Sheffield's team included W.G. Grace. Such was the significance of this fixture to Australian cricket that they named their domestic trophy, or shield, after Lord Sheffield.

Location
Sheffield Park,
Forest Row,
TN22 3QX

How to get there
The Cricket Ground is within the National Trust's famous Sheffield Park Garden, Sheffield Park, East Sussex TN22 3QX Telephone: 01825 790231. It lies midway between East Grinstead and Lewes, 5 miles north west of Uckfield, on the east side of the A275 (between A272 and A22).

Use the main entrance off the A275, signed Sheffield Park and Garden. Follow the sign to the visitors car park. Continue past the car park through the two sets of wooden gates. If the gates are locked the number for the padlocks is 1111.

Once through the bottom gate, follow the track around to the left and you will see the signs marked "Car Park". Please park within the signs; you should not park beyond the final sign stating that parking is not allowed beyond that point. You may however drive up to the pavilion to drop off any equipment, but must then return to the designated car park straight away. You will see the ground (and the pavilion) through the trees from the car park. The ground is surrounded by a deer fence but the gates through it will be unlocked.

There are one or two points that we would please ask you to note.

� The ground is within the confines of a National Trust Grade 1 garden.

� If gates are closed or locked when you come to them, could you please ensure that you close or lock them again after you have passed through.

� Please remember that there will be members of the public visiting the garden; in particular, there is a 10 mph on the roads down to the ground. We would ask you to observe it.

� Dogs are not allowed at all within the Garden and therefore not permitted at the ground.

� We are required to draw your attention to the fact that the two oak trees on the left of the vehicular access into the ground are not considered safe by the National Trust. We would therefore ask that you avoid walking or sitting beneath them.
