Days 2, 3 and 4 of the Vitality County Championship match between Middlesex Cricket vs Derbyshire CCC. Previously used for the first 4 day game In April. A bit of live grass on day one resulting in some marks in the surface, despite it being the hardest and driest 4 day pitch so far. #cricket
Test pitch preparation for England Cricket vs Windies Cricket is underway. A brush, trim and last bit of water today before commencing rolling tomorrow. #cricket #windies #engvwi #engvswindies
Could be the last full dry day ahead of the test match so the outfield got some tlc with a verticut using the Dennis Mowers G860 and some aeration with the Campey™ Turf Care Systems Air2G2. #lords #cricket #grass

Yesterday’s The Hundred Final pitch. We worked as hard as we could to produce a pitch befitting for a final. I am so proud of my teams’ efforts. The scrutiny and criticism of pitches during this tournament was high, which was disappointing, but when all else fails blame us….. 😜
