Artificial Pitch Cleaning Helped Our Cricket Wicket

Our local cricket pitch has seen many legendry games take place over the decades and I wouldn't change it for the world - it's unique. However, one bone of contention and problem was the wicket. To be honest, it was awful. The bounce was random so batsmen really had to keep their wits about them. Then we got an artificial surface for it and everything improved drastically - the only people who complained were the bowlers because they no longer had the advantage of an uneven bounce! We make sure it is serviced with artificial pitch cleaning regularly too. It's really made a game of cricket feel that much more fair - the spin is true as is the bounce, and since both times have to bat no matter what in a game of cricket, we're really all glad that we have a better chance of getting a century now!
