| Question: | "We are considering buying a motorised roller for use on the cricket table and outfield. (We play rugby on the outfield in the winter.) The roller will weigh 25 cwt. and we would like to know if the weight is too much." |
|---|
| Answer/Response: | "We feel a machine weighing 10-15 cwt. would be found the most useful. Properly applied the 10 cwt. roller can be used under a wider range of ground conditions both on the cricket table and outfield than any other but a little more care would be needed with the 15 cwt. model. The 25 cwt. model could lead to over-compaction if regularly used particularly when the ground is moist and we feel that such a machine could easily be over-used especially on the outfield where rugby is played. Rolling of cricket outfields and winter pitches should be kept to a minimum." |
