[Tagging] How to tag cricket nets?

[Kieron Thwaites]

Out of all of the below suggestions, I prefer:

leisure:practice=*
sport=*

This, to me, is the most backwards-compatible option, as you could retain a 
leisure=* tag on the object.  It also gives scope to tag indoor cricket nets 
(the larger cricket clubs and major cricket stadiums have these) -- something 
like leisure:practice=fitness_centre; sport=cricket would work there.

I'm not in favour of exercise=* as it appears to be a duplicate of 
leisure=fitness_centre.  See:

I have come up with

leisure=exercise?

exercise=cricket_nets  description: A fenced area where cricket batting and
bowling can be practiced.

And then there can be other 'exercise'

exercise=exercise_station  example: small areas set aside in parks with
features to provide specific exercises. Usually free.

exercise=fitness_center  example:An establishment with machines to improve
physical fitness. Usually for a fee.

And so on ..


Or ?

leisure=practice_pitch ?

sport=cricket, basketball etc ... this would indicate it is a practice pitch
.. and that the full sport is played elsewhere.

This is more restrictive, not covering exercise stations etc.
umm how about leisure:practice=* that would do track and pitch and could still
use sport=
