Abstract/Contents:Profiles "A.S.H.E.S. (Assessment of Soil/Surface Hardness, Elasticity and degree of Saturation), a performance testing service for cricket pitches." States that "management of the variables needed to produce optimum pitch playability can...be accurately measured, benchmarked and manipulated to best effect on a regular basis." Describes the process to test core samples, stating that "regionally based testing facilities provide a fast turnaround time and the results of the analysis can be given to the club and groundsman on the same day." Discusses "key soil and surface performance factors that collectively contribute to pitch playing qualities" and "key benefits of [A.S.H.E.S.]." Concludes that "establishing performance parameters for an individual site whilst accurately applying preparation techniques to meet those parameters should be a surface management goal."
