'Backpacking Batter' Timothy Abraham visits Mexico City's cricket pitch that leaves bowlers struggling because of its high altitude. The Reforma club's pitch in the country's capital sits 2,500m above sea level.

Ben Owen, Chairman of the Mexican Cricket Association, admits "after about an over and a half, most quick bowlers are waiting for the end of their turn".

Timothy also spoke to Lincoln Clarke, who recounted his experiences on the pitch in the 1970s when facing England bowling great Fred Trueman.

Another pitch in Cancun is labelled as "pure jungle" by the city's cricket captain, who explains players are met with "multi-coloured snakes and dangerous things you wouldn't go near" when the ball goes over the boundary.
