then, providing the frost has come out of the grass plant and the surface is not saturated, a further pass over the square may be required. As groundsmen, we tend to have a sixth sense in the touch and feel department; this is vital in all aspects of groundsmanship. Take the time to feel the surface, and get to recognise its tendencies after certain operations have been carried out, particularly after rolling. How does it feel to the touch? If it’s firm, without being able to depress your thump into it, then it’s just about there.
It is now time to go into normal pitch preparation mode and get ready for the first game, all the time keeping a focused eye on the weather forecast. It’s not uncommon to have to apply water to the pitch at this time of year, especially if the wind blows easterly for long periods or we experience mild temperatures without rain. Keep monitoring your
square’s compaction levels throughout the season. If you endure a period of prolonged rain, or a couple of days of rain, then it may well be that
the square will require a further roll outside of normal pitch preparations to maintain it to its current standard; clay soils can quickly swell and, indeed, shrink, so timing is key. To summarise, try and get as many of your club members involved, plan the process and educate yourselves as much as possible on the square’s composition, machinery, and the weather forecast. Pre-season rolling is one of the most vital operations that needs to be carried out in cricket groundsmanship. Done correctly, it will provide the rewards throughout the season; incorrectly, and problems will arise! If, at any time, you are
unsure or have questions, then seek help. The ECB Advisory service is a great place to start. Get in touch with your local advisor through your cricket board. The network of experienced help that is available through the message board on Pitchcare is another; a simple question posed will always generate a response. Never suffer in silence.
