I once played a very brief game of cricket in the Lovell Telescope (after a resurface but before it got properly tuned) because we wanted to recreate a scene from The Dish. We used a tennis ball to avoid damage. The Chief Engineer was wicket keeper. I'm bowling.

Several people standing in the large 76m dish of the Lovell Telescope. The person nearest the camera has a cricket bat stood near the centre of the bowl. Four people are fielding. One person nearer the edge of the dish is bowling.
