We used to have a lovely outfield, not carpet like but you got attack a ball with confidence. Then a couple of years ago when we had that stinker of a summer with the rain, the groundsman managed to chop it all up with the tyres on his tractor whilst mowing and it has been getting worse ever since. Now if you're fielding practically anywhere other than on the square and the ball is hit hard along the floor it's a long barrier, close your eyes and pray for your face job, it's really awful. It has been exacerbated by a local football team using the outfield in the winter to train on. I'd say that the poor outfield adds about 30 runs an innings to the batting team.
Is there anything we can do do smooth it back out into something at least remotely playable?
