Local Sand Trivia
Cricket is very popular in Sri Lanka. It’s played at professional, and recreational levels all over the nation. Sand comes at play here too. For an extra edge engineers study how soils clay, silt and sand content make cricket pitches fast and bouncy. The clay/silt/sand grading of Sri Lanka Cricket pitches average on 30/60/7% compared to bouncier nations with 63/14 and 18%. The engineers may focus on clay/silt. To OUAW it seems clear – the more sand the merrier!
