Скачать или смотреть HOW TO: Putting on the Covers | Ground Care | East Kilbride Cricket Club

Groundsman Stuart Greig talks you through how to put the covers on properly. In the wet climate of Scotland, the covers are on most weeks – and, as you’ll see, there’s a right way and a very wrong way to do it.

You’d be surprised how often people seem to think water runs uphill, or that leaving “just a wee gap” will somehow keep the pitch dry. Spoiler: it doesn’t.

This video is part how-to guide, part public service announcement, and part therapy for Stuart – who has seen one too many covers put on back-to-front, inside-out, or looking more like a half-finished tent.

Light-hearted, but informative… and if you ever fancy giving him a hand next time, please watch this first!
