Cricket : 22 yards PITCH

Providence , Guyana : 22 yards :

Why neither team could NOT score 200  ??

Guyana could not get 100 in their second Innings ...

It appears that NO attention is being paid to the Geology of the 22 Yards by the WICB.


Instead of hiring Pybus , why NOT hire a GEOLOGIST :

Like Bourda in the good ole days ??  :-\

AND it is not Guyana alone :

the state of the Pitches thruout the Caribbean is NOW a CRISIS...  >

Bourda Green had a moat built outside to collect the rain fall :

there was Fish in dem drains  8)

                                           

                                                           

Soil in Guyana is a mixture of Mud and Sand , a.k.a. Loam !

loamlōm/noun
a fertile soil of clay and sand containing humus.

humus is the organic material from Plants and animals manure !!

This is Charlie Joseph ....resposible for the 22 yards at Sabina Park , Jamaica :

                                                               

Now Charlie is a good fellah ...he was hired to answer phones back in the days at 25 a month salary !

In contrast Opiss and Pybus combines is over half a million per annum ...

Charlie ended up as Pitch Curator in charge of a 5 day TEST match pitch !  :-[

Charlie Joseph, curator of a pitch that made unwanted history in 1998,

Naturally , YOU get what you Pay for ...

Why is there NOT a Soil specialist hired ?

A PhD in Geology is much better that Hilaire  and Beckles PhDs in trouble making !
