Cricket Library Cricket Ground Capture: Every Ground Has a Story

What if your local cricket ground could become your territory?

Every cricket ground has a story.

Maybe it is where you played your first game. Perhaps it is where you scored your first fifty, took your first wicket, watched your dad play, coached your kids, or spent countless Saturday afternoons with your cricket mates.

For some of us, a cricket ground is simply a patch of grass.

For others, it is a place filled with memories.

And now, Cricket Library is giving you a new reason to get back there.

Introducing Cricket Library Cricket Ground Capture

Cricket Library has joined the INTVL partner program, and we’re inviting the Cricket Library family to join us for something a little different.

We’re going to capture cricket grounds.

INTVL is a running and walking app that turns the places you exercise into a territory game. As you run or walk, you can capture territory and compete with other people for the map.

So we’re setting ourselves a challenge:

Can the Cricket Library family capture cricket grounds all around Australia — and eventually around the world?

Your first mission is simple.

Find your local cricket ground.
Run or walk it.
Capture the territory.
Claim it for the Cricket Library family.

You don’t have to be an elite runner.

You don’t have to run a marathon.

You don’t even have to run.

You just need a cricket ground and the motivation to get moving.

Your local club ground. Your school oval. The park where you played junior cricket. The ground where your kids now play.

That’s where you start.

And once you’ve captured it, we want to see it.

Take a screenshot of your INTVL capture and share it with us.

Use #CricketGroundCapture and tag Cricket Library so we can start building our very own map of cricket grounds.

Ready to make your first capture?

Join Cricket Library on INTVL, find your local cricket ground and get moving.

You don’t need to chase a PB.

You don’t need to run a perfect lap.

You just need to make your first move.

Because somewhere near you, there is a cricket ground waiting to be captured.

Every ground has a story. Now capture yours.

Adrian Griffith on Cricket, Identity & Life Beyond the Game – The Cricket Library

Former West Indies opening batter, Adrian Griffith joins the Cricket Library Podcast for a fascinating and deeply reflective conversation about cricket, identity, purpose, and life beyond the game. Growing up in Barbados, Adrian rose through Caribbean cricket to become an opening batter for the West Indies cricket team during one of the most compelling eras in world cricket. He shares stories from his early journey into first-class cricket, touring Australia, facing elite fast bowling, and the pressures that come with representing the maroon cap at the highest level. One of the highlights of the episode is Adrian reflecting on his remarkable Test match against New Zealand, where he became the first West Indian cricketer to bat on all five days of a Test match — a rare and unique achievement in cricket history. Adrian also revisits the unforgettable Test against Australia where Brian Lara produced one of the greatest innings the game has ever seen, offering incredible insight into Lara’s brilliance and the atmosphere surrounding that iconic moment in cricket and the story behind his selection in the team. Beyond the playing field, Adrian discusses his transition into officiating as an ICC match referee and his current work with AGC, where he continues contributing to leadership, mentoring, and the development of people within and beyond cricket. While the conversation celebrates Test cricket, West Indies history, and unforgettable moments, it also explores a deeper theme — that achievements on the field do not fully define a person’s worth. Adrian shares thoughtful reflections on transition, identity, leadership, and building a meaningful life beyond cricket. Topics include: • The significance of the Maroon West Indies Cricket Cap • Touring Australia • Batting on all five days of a Test match • Test cricket pressures • Caribbean cricket culture • ICC match refereeing • Leadership and mentoring • AGC and life after cricket • Purpose and identity beyond sport If you love cricket history, long-form conversations, and powerful human stories from inside the game, this episode is for you.
