For Business:
CHAWLA PITCH
Named after the famed Brandeis student, Jassa Singh Chawla ('03),
Chawla Pitch is at the top most portion of a two-layered concrete
parking structure located at Brandeis University's off-campus
Charles River Apartments. With the aid of an artificial pitch, when
using a hard ball, or on the plain concrete, when using tennis
balls, Chawla Pitch provides the Brandeis Cricket Club with a large
enough area to play a decently active match. Historically, the
Cricket Club has used trash cans, parking pylons, and chairs as
wickets, as devotion for the game has been very strong amongst its
members, never letting a lack of equipment hinder gameplay.
Recently, the club has acquired the necessary equipment to play
proper cricket. Rules on scoring, such as boundary markings, scoring
of 4's and 6's, and so on, are decided before each match due to the
build of the parking structure.
SOCCER FIELD (PRACTICE)
Located next to the Brandeis/Roberts Commuter Rail Station, the
practice field for the Brandeis Soccer Team, when available for use,
allows the Cricket Club to play on green grass along with its
artificial pitch. Since it is not guaranteed for use, Chawla Pitch
is the most chosen location for gameplay. However, when it is used,
the large expanse of green gives a more realistic feel to the game
and a more active match.
For Pleasure:
SHAPIRO CAMPUS CENTER GREAT LAWN
On laid-back, easy-going days, the Cricket Club plays small games on
the Great Lawn in front of the Shapiro Campus Center, using the
walkway to the Campus Center as the pitch. The only equipment
necessary are a few bats and especially many tennis balls (as many
of them are lost on the roof of the Campus Center). The games played
are for fun, so anyone is welcome to join in for fielding, bowling,
and even batting or even just to watch and learn how to play the
game.
