Home » Articles & Information » Cricket Pitch Maintenance Articles & Information Cricket Pitch Maintenance   Summary: A guide to Cricket Pitch Maintenance from the Institute of Groundmanship Article Content: Introduction: Cricket is typically played on a grass pitch (often a rectangular shape) and will have a various number of pitch positions. The length of an adult pitch is 20.12m (22 yards), whilst a 'typical' pitch might be 24m (length) x 30m (width). The playing season can generally be from the middle of April to September, depending upon which league it is. Quality: A cricket pitch should ideally be • even throughout, with no undulations or depressions; • well consolidated, giving good and appropriate ball bounce; • covered with a dense sward of desirable grasses that have good root density and depth; In addition, a well-prepared pitch should ideally be able to withstand the equivalent of three, five-hour games. To ensure that a cricket pitch is maintained correctly, not only during the playing season but also throughout the whole of the year, a number of individual performance standards are likely to be set. The combination of these standards determines the overall quality of the cricket pitch.
