May not be the only game on a poor pitch.

Worcester got a hat trick first 3 balls of gamebefore having Northants 13 for 6.

They thought back to 127.

Worcester 48 for 6 in reply......

Bit farcial if we only get 1 point for that now. Bad enough that a test ground can have a pitch like that.

Edited. Now available.

I wonder if/how they will be punished for producing this pitch. As I think they had 2 points deducted for something similar last year, would their punishment be more harsh now as it is their second offence?
It is completely unacceptable though, and as shown was genuinely dangerous.

It was the same pitch they used on Friday, where they had no issues.

The price being charged for a stem guard is a bit much if it didn't survive an impact to the front grill!

They only clip on don't they? I imagine the impact just unclipped it rather than damaged it

It snapped in half and bits came off it. Did you not watch the vid?

It looked like the impact on the grille flexed it enough for the stem guard to pop off or the clips to break, and the side where it hit then came loose. It's not a rigid structure per se. It's a flexible cushioning device with "impact cells" to reduce the impact. The thin piece of plastic linking the two sides isn't rigid.

I did watch the video but there's 2 problems.

1) my eyes aren't very good
2) I only watched it on my phone so it wasn't a huge screen

[smilley792]

Watching root play with his mid test it looked no wear near as flexible as this one Appeared To be after impact.



Impressed with the grill strength though. Adams just had the look of wtf

Morgan "rested" for the next four games due to poor form!

Just showed the ball that lead to the game being abandonned on the local news.
Is Adams no longer sponsored by GM?

He was definitely still using them earlier in the season, can't remember when he stopped.
