Fair enough BUT Soil samples and Geology is
ge·ol·o·gy jēˈäləjē/ noun
the science that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it.
- the geological features of an area.
"the geology of the Outer Hebrides"
the geological features of a planetary body.
Sure is ......but gardeners deal with geology the same in a simpler manner with maintaining PH levels in soil etc. ... No big thing !!!

Re: Groundsman - Calypso - 06-07-2014
Actually I've never been able to figure out either why it's an issue ..... or for that matter why it should be especially with 'drop in' pitches
Re: Groundsman - ketchim - 06-07-2014
Drop In pitches will see the End of the occupation known as " Groundsman " ::LOL::

The New Zealand cricket captain Brendon McCullum says he'll bat first if he wins Toss

I cannot understand why proper pitches cannot be prepared in the Indies.
Has there genuinely been some issues with the soil ?
