GUIDELINES FOR WICKET MAINTENANCE
PREPARATION
1. Always work 1 wicket ahead i.e.
commence 2 weeks ahead of date for match.
2. Do not rake the playing wicket
during the final week - brush only.
3. Cut the playing wicket to final
height 1 or 2 days before use.
REPAIR After each match scarify,
seed and soil the ends as soon as possible after final use - soak whole
of wicket.
ROLLING
1. When using the same wicket for
the next game, roll from each end to the centre, then finally roll the
complete wicket.
2. If the wicket is firm, use the
light roller only to avoid cracking the surface.
WICKET ROTATION
The mowers have been set at the
correct height with the ride-on to be used for the square and the strip
mower for the wicket only. The small Atco will continue to be used for
the perimeter. Your team leaders will be happy to give you any further
information you may need and will be grateful if you could keep them
informed of any breakdowns or when things need replacing.
