Cricket season would be the summer term, really; September is the start of the autumn term, which at my school meant hockey and netball instead of tennis and rounders. I suspect that most boy schools would be playing football and rugby, and perhaps hockey, in September. The difficulty is that no one would be maintaining the pitch, and it would probably have been remarked for the winter sports, all of which would affect the outfield, not to mention that the wicket itself wouldn't be mown flat, so generally playing would be a bit of a mess. The nets might still be up though, I suppose?
Damp autumn leaves are possible, although September is perhaps a little early... I think probably most of the leaves would still be on the trees, although you'd have some leaf-fall.
I think what you have here is within the bounds of probability, though. Also, crazy sports teachers can do anything *g*.
