Preparing a Cricket Wicket with Edgbaston's Head of Sports Turf and Grounds Gary Barwell 

Very good video....nice closing note too!

Very interesting and nice to learn about what goes on behind the scenes

A very thorough and fascinating talk - and a telling riposte to the repeated criticism of County pitches. Still can't make my mind up...that game in which Surrey scored 400-odd and the we batted out scoring over 500...is that what lthe crttics call a poor pitch???

whats the idea with the ply wood?

I'd definitely say the English are world leaders when it comes to pitches.
