World Cricket Pitch Soil Line up.

When, I was Head curator of the ICC Academy Dubai, I got to do some cool research getting access to some of the worlds cricket clays. I carried out a test one day running all soils through the shrinkage testing procedure.

Then I decided to mix all soils together in equal amounts, mix for 1 hour in a mixer and pour the content into the Petry dish. I created on that day a World X1 clay. (Bottom row far Right). It did crack close the best parameters I have seen for a while.

Just thinking outside the Block, and how we can improve the game.
