Sir Paul Getty was introduced to Cricket by Sir Mick Jagger, when they were neighbours in Cheyne Walk in the 1980s, when they would sit and watch Test Cricket on the television over a cup of tea!
Over time Sir Paul was introduced to the cricket establishment and the depth of his love for the game can be seen through his funding of the development of the Mound Stand at Lord’s, his acquisition of Wisden and most famously, the creation of his cricket ground at Wormsley. He engaged Harry Brind OBE, groundsman at the Oval, to create a pitch at his Buckinghamshire estate, and his great friend, Test Match Special’s irrepressible Brian Johnston, advised on all matters cricket and culinary.
The first game on the new ground was fittingly between two local villages that border the Estate – Ibstone and Fingest on Sunday 10th May 1992. These village games continue to this day and form an important part of the history of the game at Wormsley.
The Sir Paul Getty ground was officially opened on Sunday 24th May 1992 by Bob Wyatt (England Captain – 40 caps) who rang the Wormsley Bell, with Fred Trueman (67 England caps) who raised the Wormsley Flag. The Sir Paul Getty XI played host to the MCC, watched by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and the then Prime Minister, Sir John Major. To this day, the Sir Paul Getty XI continues to be a cornerstone of cricket at Wormsley with annual matches against the Eton Ramblers, the Arabs and I Zingari – teams steeped in history with true tradition close to the heart of Sir Paul.
Today, alongside the invitational Sir Paul Getty XI matches, Wormsley plays host to a range of cricket, from private, charity and corporate days, to Representative Cricket with the ECB and National Counties.
We are delighted that Sir Andrew Strauss OBE is President of Wormsley Cricket for the 2022 season as we celebrate 30 years of cricket at what is often referred to as "one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world".
