OEs pitch "perfectly playable" says C*nterbury groundsman

05 Sep 2011

RRs match at OEs was abandoned without a ball being bowled, before being visited by Kent's head groundsman. "Kent would have played on that" he said, "weeds growing on the surface, puddles two feet deep on a length, that's a better looking pitch than any i've prepared this season. We try to cheat in a variety of ways down at C*nterbury... Refusing to believe that catches have been taken cleanly, taking our own catches over the boundary, and when that fails we just prepare pitches that look like ploughed fields. And yet we're still the second worst team in the country, we're not even very good at cheating!"
