    Apparently today marks the end of cricket being played at the St Helen's ground. It's ending with more of a whimper than a bang, since the final
    match is Swansea second XI against Pontardarwe. There's a very good
    article about the history of the ground here:

    It's where Gary Sobers hit his six sixes in an over, as well as
    Glamorgan beating the South African tourists in 1951 and the Australians
    in both 1964 and 1968.
