Why is a true cricket surface?
There is no possible way you could have turf pitches in the Adelaide Hills, you wouldn't play until December
I disagree with that, I appreciate whilst it gets pretty wet in the hills with decent covers, suitable drainage and enough helpers you could have turf pitches, it doesn’t stop there being turf pitches in the uk and Ireland. I think the main stumbling block is that cricket is often seen as a periphery sport by many and so getting the funding and the volunteers is very hard, whereas concrete decks are much less cost and labour intensive.
