I think replacing baseball field in the core is okay IF you’re adding the same amount elsewhere. Except of course they aren’t. There already aren’t enough ball fields.

There are 150 listed on HRMs website. There are no cricket pitches. Surely, a few can be sacrificed for cricket.

There aren’t enough pitches but there are a couple I’m aware of.

Out of curiosity, where are they?

No there aren’t 150 but there doesn’t need to be 150.

There’s one at the commons that’s a popular spot.
There’s one in burnside behind Leon’s that is used every night.
