The main cricket field was hailed as being of
Test-match quality, according to the groundsman who worked at the facility during the event. "It's a full sand carpet outfield which is pretty much the world's best standard practice for building outfields. The drainage is phenomenal," he said. Cricketers
David Hemp and
Nicholas Standford respectively praised the outfield as "magnificent" and the facility as "excellent". Despite the praise, writer Peter Della Penna noted that "most other aspects outside the ropes were makeshift accommodations that would only be suitable at amateur level", citing the lack of standard amenities for players, fans, and media.
