Great stuff, I enjoyed that video, enjoy your cricket

[@meetchaudhari8857]

Great Job buddy! Looks great.

[@murtaghslawncare.]

Did you use your existing lawn or overseed with cricket seed?

[@deeptadas3714]

Cricket is the best game in the world when played with a tennis ball.

[@davethompson5718]

You need to get yourself a 2nd hand Ransomes Ajax MKIII cylinder mower to finish it off and maintain it. They cut down to about 4mm.

[@samuelwhite6529]

Dave Thompson I mean for backyard cricket with a tennis ball I don't think it's that necessary but funnily enough I may well soon be getting a motor cylinder mower! ;)

How much does the roller weigh? And was the lawn wet before you used the roller?

Hey what was the first machine u used

[@ishaqbrais7928]

How long did it take mate

[@samuelwhite6529]

Ishaq Brais Roughly an hour and a half, but remember it is a lengthy process and the perfect pitch will require rolling and more mowing the day after!!

[@chinmaysaredsai3276]

Bro you are amazing👍, really Awesome video👍.

Thanks mate:)

indeed a hard work

[@samconboy6953]

Where do you get the roller

[@jackslater4697]

Are you gonna upload more games?

[@milo_g1557]

I make my pitch just by cutting it with a mower and mow it very short but is is very very green

[@samuelwhite6529]

Does it play well?

[@milo_g1557]

Yes for a bowler it does every well

[@amosdoyle6250]

where can you buy a roller to flatten out the grass

[@samuelwhite6529]

Amos Doyle search online and you may be able to pick one up.

[@krish7738]

If there is no grass is it okay

[@footyplayer12]

Every aussie has a half taped cricket ball

[@samuelwhite6529]

lockster3 Being from England with the greener pitches and half-taped ball, it's a bowlers game;)

[@tazzie165]

lockster3 I'm an Aussie never had one lol

[@anthonyaldousgaming1464]

What if you dont have a roller

[@samuelwhite6529]

anthonyaldousgaming1 Not completely necessary but you could use a wheelbarrow but you could also just ensure the pitch is dry by keeping moisture of it. Thanks for the comment XD

[@anthonyaldousgaming1464]

Samuel White what if the is not the best

[@samuelwhite6529]

anthonyaldousgaming1 what do you mean?

[@samuelwhite6529]

anthonyaldousgaming1 the grass itself doesn't hugely matter as long as the soil is dry and the grass is cut low. You could fertilise the grass before and after you start up the pitch- as in once in the spring and once in winter. P

[@camwigney1168]

anthonyaldousgaming1 get new grass

[@charliecampo5095]

Mate just saying you gotta wet the pitch before rolling it

[@samuelwhite6529]

Not in england

[@welovecricket9110]

Why bother with the push mower mate ?

[@samuelwhite6529]

We love cricket Thanks for the comment. The push mower ensures there is a finer cut before using the rotary mower which also means that the pitch will be more healthy when finished, and less dusty when using!!:)

[@JohnMcClane99]

If you run straight over it with the other mower I don't see how it makes any difference at all?

[@samuelwhite6529]

Going over straight away with the petrol mower can damage the grass, as it's too long for the rotary mower to cut closely. Therefore, cutting with a cylinder first gets the grass shorter and finer; meaning a better cut when using the petrol mower. Thanks for watching!! :)

[@welovecricket9110]

How technical...you're a future Lords curator mate 😉

[@ham2ah]

Nice video. Those wide lines are tiny tho #batsmansgame

[@samuelwhite6529]

ham2ah Thanks for the comment. I have started to paint them wider although I did find that it's a great test of accuracy for the bowler!!:)

What about Aussie wickets like the one at the mcg Boxing Day last year? English pitches are still best

2 bowl is not a wicket

[@filthymixes6429]

I mean 2nd bowl doesn’t count

[@samuelwhite6529]

Sorry what do you mean?

[@samuelwhite6529]

Now I understand. The bails rule doesn't usually count when 1. You're playing on your own and 2. You are using a tennis ball XD
