Some of the comments on this are horrible! We've delayed taking sheets off today and put minimal covering on last night due to the strong winds. If a sheet goes flying whilst we are holding it. We go flying too. Sorry, but our safety comes before cricket being played.
We have clarification as to why we aren’t playing, it’s due to health and safety concerns for ground staff removing the covers.

So it turns out, my first ever pitch isn't for the Diamonds but the England Women and their T20 Vs Pakistan! 🤯 The boss was getting me confused, nothing like a low-key game for my first pitch 🫣😂 Hopefully, it's a belter 🏏
This year, I'm planning on being more hands on with pitch prep stuff. So I'm starting off on the pitch for the

It's so frustrating on our part. We do everything we can but the weather is against us a lot at the moment.
You are correct on that. We knew the wind was predicted, so we decided on sheets instead. They've been blowing about by the garage, a wise choice!

A cut and some spiking done on one of our out grounds today. A few areas are still a bit damp for proper spiking, so a little hand forking for those bits. I'm enjoying learning down at Headingley and putting things into practice here. Thanks for your help today

Yes we do have mobile covers which we would normally use. For this game we’ve got coconut mats and two sheets covering it. We’ve gone with this as there’s a chance of high winds during the four days and we don’t want to risk mobiles going flying over Headingley.

This was Yorkshire's on Thursday night. They didn't play until 3:40. Every ground in the country have been working their absolute hardest for several months already. Everyone's done our best but we can't help the weather. No play has nothing to do with groundstaff. We want play.
