Description: The only private cricket field in Kansas , and one of a handful in the US.
The pitch is a 90 x 12 concrete pad covered in a artificial turf, at 66 ft there are voids for the stumps the longer then normal concrete surface provides for a good consistent surface for the bowlers run ups even in wet conditions. Surrounded on 3 sides by a variety of trees , this field could come right from a village green. Also the practice nets at this field are 2 half length pitches netted in , the pitches are covered with the same artificial turf as the center wicket.
Thanks to Mike Miller and Malcolm Nash of USJC for the pitch suggestions.
And Ian Macalister from Dubbo City Council NSW Australia for the plans.
