@1BackyardSports

Hi Jack, that's a good question and it depends on how healthy/green you'd like your pitch to start off. The pitch in this video would need a fair bit of water to keep it from getting dusty real quick; I'd suggest mowing 2 levels lower than your surrounding grass then 2-3 levels lower each day, mow down 1 level each cross to avoid clogging up the mower with clippings. After about 3 days or so you'll then be able to mow at the lowest level (real important you don't mow low too quickly if you want to keep the pitch from getting dusty) which is ideal for a consistent pitch (also depends on manual mowing/rolling etc). If you do mow down to the lowest level quickly I'd suggest giving the pitch a good sprinkle that same evening. We have kikuyu grass which isn't really ideal for a cricket pitch but it can endure a fair bit of wear and tear; handy for a lot of backyard cricket!

Hey I love this video and im trying to make a backyard pitch as good as this one. I was wondering if it matters what type of grass you have because i have zoysia grass and it looks terrible when i mow it to a low level (lots of grass runners and uneven ground). Can a cricket pitch still be made? PS. how heavy is your roller?
@1BackyardSports
2 жыл бұрын
Apologies as we're about 4 years late coming back to this, but just getting back to posting more content after a hiatus for some time. But, if you still have zoysia, a cricket pitch can most certainly still be made! It may be worth purchasing (if possible) a reel/cylinder mower (like the manual-mower we have), that cuts really fine/where you can collect the fine clippings as well. As for the uneven ground, that might be something that you may wish to address after mowing it down as low as you can - then using a topsoil to fill in gaps and to flatten it out. Our roller is about 100kgs or so.

Good question! We have used a hard plastic 'incredi-ball' on this pitch quite regularly. A proper 156gm leather ball could potentially break windows so we've generally stayed away from using one; in saying that we have used one and it's gone okay; it has the potential to break up the surface however if the pitch is dry.

@1BackyardSports
Жыл бұрын
Very good question! To build/maintain a good cricket pitch table will cost tens of thousands of $$$ for sure - depending on where you're located (we're in Melbourne, in Australia where couch grass and Merri Creek soil are most common), you'll need a decent base, but then irrigation and equipment (heavy roller etc). It may well depend on how well-supported your club is - again, depending on your location, you may be able to apply for a number of grants to help you if you're upgrading your facilities :)
