Brushing in the interval As an ex-Yorkshire player himself,


Kevin had moved back to Yorkshire several years ago to take up a role as batting coach. He was keen to point out that the track was perfectly okay, it was really a poor Yorkshire batting display. With Warwickshire chasing a relatively low score, they must have been confident of a win. However, their batting seemed to be even worse than Yorkshire’s and, after a flurry of wickets fell, were all out for 105. Not a good day for the home side.


As always, Ian was keen to gauge the


reaction from the umpires about the condition of his wicket. They too put it down to some poor batting, stating that track had performed perfectly well. With the game finishing early, Ian and Aadam spent some time cleaning up the

wicket and mowing it with the Dennis FT510, before having a well earned pint in the bar. With little damage to the wicket, Ian will even have the bonus of getting another game out of it before finally putting it to bed. It was great to catch up with Ian who,


like so many cricket groundsmen, spend most of their waking time in the summer months devoted to their clubs, continuing to strive to produce the best surfaces they can. Ian is proud of what he has achieved over the years at Knowle & Dorridge and enjoys the way of life he now has, serving the club he loves. He is a true credit to our industry and, like the vast majority of cricket groundsmen, an invaluable asset to the game.


Yorkshire captain, Anthony McGrath
