A major ECB Event ‘Cricket In the City’ took place in Victoria Square in Birmingham. It was all arranged to showcase cricket to a wide audience right in the heart of the city and to profile the forthcoming Test Match between England and India at Edgbaston. There were various stands and displays and we were there with the ECB Cricket Factory as part of an interactive participation zone.

The highlight for many of the crowd was a visit to the event by a number of England players including Cook, Swann, Morgan and Tremlett, who all took time to help participants on the ECB Cricket Factory rig.
