88: Gary Barwell - The Groundsman Strikes Back after World Cup

Gary Barwell, the Head Groundsman at Edgbaston, joins the Cricket Badger this week to fight back against criticism of pitches during the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The barb that stung the most was from Mark Butcher on Twitter which read "Sorry, but pitches have been garbage this tournament" On this podcast Gary fights back.. We also chat the job, the pride at turning out a belting wicket and the hard work the groundstaff around the country put in. They are the unsung heroes of the sport in England.
