Guyana once again leads the way !

The four international pitches at the Guyana National Stadium,Providence,

are currently undergoing a massive overhaul and curators are confident that

the new pitches will be of the highest standard once completed  8)

The West Indies/India Test at the Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad :

was abandoned after 22 overs due to poor facilities

while the recent T20 series between the same two teams in Florida

saw Sunday’s second t20 game unable to be completed because of a wet outfield...

Ever since its birth back in 2007, the Providence facility has been more renowned

for its remarkable drainage system rather than its pitch 

Wasim Habib, the man in charge of the project, explained that a backhoe was used

to dig up roughly five inches of sand from under the original pitch

which they then replaced with :

“Crush and Run”,  the same material which is used to build roads.

Crush and run

Cappo, my teenage years making 22 yards we called that "Sifting"


The next stage which Habib and his men are currently at,

deals with the packing of some eight inches of quality soil

which he said they acquired from the Enterprise Ground !!

how do you put 8" into 6"
bringing soil from enterprise is dumb


ever wonder enterprise never had a FC match

hahahaha ...I suppose its close by and they must have done soil testing !  ::LOL::

Heavy Rollers will take that 2 inches into compact !

what testing you know the entire east coast is ether clay or sea mud

Look at that runs fest in England ODI : beating records, galore

That Pitch should be dig up and re done! 

Wasim Habib should send them his CV
