in my eyes there terrible for 1 there to narrow and 2 bowlers cant grip thier front foot when they hit the bowling crease.

From what ive heard the Council is looking at having all pitches in the Onkaparinga area covered with the same matting as they become due for relaying.
Happy Valley's is supposed to be the worst of the lot though !

From discussions that I have had with some lads re the new pitch Deep Heats comments are spot on. Also there have been some very good scores at the Shoe so it cant be to bad?
I know Trav is not a big fan but mate stop dropping them in short or is the old age taking toll?![]()

As for the crease surley there is a non slip paint? S/R also have a similar pitch how does there crease go
On a positive, not having to drag mats out is gold.
