A cricket pitch cannot be compared to a football pitch in anyway shape or form.cbbee wrote:It would ruin the pitch.
In a recent cricket game at the Oval, Paul Collingwood said there were stud marks in the pitch from an Aussie rules game last November!
The only saving grace would be the lack of scrums in Rugby league.
Playing on a dual usage pitch about 18 years ago I put a batsman in hospital when a good length ball hit a stud (an actual stud rather than a mark) and reared up on him hitting him flush on the temple and knocking him out.
Stud marks will impact a football pitch, but no where close to such an extent.
