Captains Nasser Hussain and Stephen Fleming watched by Bob Willis of Sky
TV toss up for the first Brits-v-Rest of the World Match, Millennium Stadium,
4 October 2002
Matthew Maynard:
The ball came on to the bat... bowlers were able to get pace and lift from
the pitch when banged in short... an excellent pitch for limited overs cricket.
Ronnie Irani:
A one-day pitch has to have even bounce and favour the batsman, and this
ClubTurf Pitch fitted the bill perfectly...and there was assistance for
top quality bowlers.
Adam Hollioake:
This pitch provided a fair contest between bat and ball... something in
it for the bowlers and the batsmen could go for their shots with confidence.
Mark Ealham:
A great tournament made possible by the first class venue and pitch.
Simon Hughes, Daily Telegraph:
The pitch, provided by Derek Underwoods artificial turf company, played
ideally.
Nasser Hussain:
The pitch was very good, start to finish.
Wasim Akram:
Simply a great all-round cricket pitch.
Robin Smith:
All the players were surprised and impressed with the exceptional playing
qualities of the pitch... the most realistic and closest to natural grass
that I have played on. Non-turf pitches must have consistency of bounce
and the ClubTurf pitch certainly provided that.
