Hopefully got the first match of the season tomorrow evening. It'll be played on a ground renowned for swing, seam and being a bit of a pudding after this much rain. The outfield dies pretty quickly but if we get a bit of rain tomorrow afternoon I fear we'll be on the artificial. How quickly does your pitch dry out?

Our ground dries very quick, but would need very very little rain for the rest of the week for the possibility of a game.

Because of our square our game has been rearranged to the away team's ground

Normally pretty well at both my village club and league club, although I drove past the village club at the weekend and there were two massive ponds on the outfield...!!

We have a slope so the top tracks arent too bad, bottom ones will be though.
The outfield isn't too bad. Grass is dry. Still hop if playing Saturday or Sunday!

ours dries pretty quick. The combination of a gentle slope on the outfield and a proper laid square means it can take plenty of water. Just as well in Yorkshire!

From my experience I find that the harder the square the more water sits on top and doesn't drain.

My new clubs pitch runs down a slope so the top Two or 3 will dry quite quick. Does not have to much affect on me as my 1st game is only on the 16th..

Ours is drying nicely, still very soft.

not really, 50 yards square from the middle wicket but the straight boundaries are 80 yards.

50 yard boundaries are quite small, outfield looks very green and lush at the moment

50 yards is small, but the outfield makes up for that, it's pretty long due to the massive rainfall. Square boundaries only an issue if you bowl short.

That looks beautiful, if only we had grounds like that here

left and right boundires are small at headingley,

but straight hits are massive lol
