True cricket surface? This is country cricket, which in the main is played on hard wicket and it takes nothing away from the game at all.
Somewhat off topic here.... but the hardwicket comps I have played in here in Melbourne are all on "permanent stuck down synthetic" as opposed to matting that is rolled/pegged out each week. IMO these permanent wickets play a little differently... there can be a bit more variable bounce.
