The total-play non-turf cricket pitch system is an ECB approved non turf cricket pitch, as used by Darren Gough. Its unique and modern design offers cricket players a balanced game between bat and ball and is designed to encourage turn and improve the playing experience more than any other artificial surface.
The 'total-play' system has evolved from many years of practical experience of managing natural turf pitches and calls on the latest research, materials construction techniques and methods in performance testing to give cricketers an excellent play or practice experience.
David Bates, former cricketer, Head Groundsman at Northamptonshire C.C.C. and total-play Technical Director says of total-play:
"The aim is simple; to provide the highest quality all weather surface, says David. We have designed a system for cricketers with a surface that provides the perfect balance between bat and ball. We wanted a pitch that enables a batsman to practise the correct techniques, giving them the ability to play on the up, off the front foot and with confidence to play off the back foot. Our surface also encourages spin, which is essential for slow bowlers, both young and old. Above all, we wanted a safe and consistent pitch with the correct pace and bounce to promote every aspect of the modern game."
All 'total-play' non turf pitches are installed by our in-house contract team. Fully qualified and experienced in the construction of natural sports surfaces, drainage installations and grounds works, the contract team possess a unique blend of expertise.
