There is no caravan park in our former hometown in Donnybrook, Western Australia but caravans can park next to the oval and can use the facilities there.
The oval is used for football and cricket and I was amused by the sign warning people of ‘errant cricket balls’. It makes it sound as though the balls have a mind of their own – but perhaps it seems that way sometimes.

Well better warned than sorry in case a cricket ball might want to smack someone in the head,

Another risk could be fast flying balls breaking glass panes or damaging them!

Glass Panes sometimes used to get broken even with cricket play with Tennis balls.
At times, the playing students used to br reprimanded by the Principal.
Yet now I see lesser interest in cricket in schools these days. May be smaller cities and towns have people having more interest in cricket than in the bigger ones.

She is talking about Football or the Soccer- whose next world cup is due in Qatar in 2022.
Think Pele, Maradona, Christiano Ronaldo!

Yes they probably do those funny cricket balls.
I remember when I lived by the sea..there was a sign on the beach front saying
Do not molest the lobster traps

People are getting "stupider". They need to be warned about everything that common sense used to take care of.

Never heard of Midsomer Murders - is that a popular one?
We had the Bollywood movie "Lagaan" that showed British Raj Officers having High Tea after the cricket match and perhaps in other series as well.

It should be errant Big hitters in Cricket.
Balls obviously cannot be errant by themselves!
Yet the ones hitting the cricket balls far and wide would be very skilled and passionate like David Warner or Matthew Hayden!!

A firmly hit ball could go sailing over the fence.
