Well done to Meg Lay who undertook all the preparation of the Eton vs Harrow and Oxford vs Cambridge pitch. Another great job done by one of my team, which shows me the huge value of giving extra responsibility to my staff 👏 #cricket

Time for the outfield to get a clean up with the Unirake, one of my new favourite pieces of kit. Mown off beautifully with Dennis Mowers E-36. We are trialling a new grooved front roller which is cutting off 50% more than the traditional smooth roller. #cricket #grass

A little bit of tlc for what’s below the surface. Air being injected in to the soil profile, giving those roots a chance to breathe and expand. The Air2G2 is a nice piece of kit from Campey™ Turf Care Systems #cricket #grass #lords #countycricket

Very much looking forward to welcoming local students to Lord’s on Friday. Hopefully we can demonstrate what we do as a viable career choice, and inspire the future generation. #grounds #lords

We always talk about a fair balance between bat and ball, and when pitches lean more one way they are heavily criticised. There are very few pitches over the last year that have provided that balance for the kookaburra ball. This ball offers little for the bowler in my opinion.
