Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Inverhaugh Cricket Club "who play cricket the way the game should be played, on a turf wicket." Notes that "one of the rules of membership is that each member must contribute in some way to maintenance." States that "climate has a large bearing on the maintenance of cricket fields in Canada where the soil is frozen for at least four months of the year." Suggests that "mowing is a critical part of the maintenance of a grass wicket." Notes that "the entire field beyond the boundry stakes and square takes about two hours to mow." Also notes that "herbicides are rarely used as mosty weeds are pulled by hand."
