Yes, we were very lucky that day. The day before and the day after were awful.

the technical term for which I believe is "hollow coring" (I may be slightly wrong though....)

Nope, the hollow coring is done on the outfield every few years using cutters that lift out a section a bit like an apple corer, the holes are then refilled with a mixture of sand, soil and seed and it improves the overall condition of the outfield as the new grass merges with the old top layer. We haven't done it this year, just scaryfying and seeding.

The pictured drilling creates narrow tubes in the London clay pitch about 6 inches deep which are left open. This allows more water to penetrate deeper into the clay while encouraging carbon dioxide to rise creating aeration which reduces the flat areas of panning and the larger cracks opening up.

It's amazing how much I've learned about the art of cricket groundsmanship over the years.

Had a flight in a glider today. Towed up by a ground based winch. Impressive acceleration and rate of climb. Great views of the Long Mynd in Shropshire.

Nice shots, but I prefer my aircraft to have engines!
