The main interest of this unfinished sketch lies in the informal grouping of spectators brought together by their common interest in cricket. A few benches, together with one or two more comfortable-looking chairs, are drawn up in front of a score tent; some of the top-hatted onlookers prefer to sit or stand by the tent itself; while to the extreme left of the composition, a batsman, also sporting a top hat, prepares for the next delivery.
