Club Cricketer
I was reading this month's Wisden Cricketer and in the letters section, they had a letter about the correct way to mark out your guard. Suggestions included, doing it with the toe of your bat, doing it with a bail or doing it with the spikes on your boot. The groundsman whose letter it was suggested the introduction of an option whereby the groundsman marks out the line of the stumps on the popping crease so it is precise and doesn't muck up the pitch.
How do you mark out your guard and what do you think the best way to do it is?
