Improvement of Bounce Characteristics on Locally Available Soil to Prepare Cricket Pitches

Abstract

Cricket is one of the most popular sport in the world. Games progresses on hard and flat surface known as pitch. A model of pitch was developed with soil and aggregate to scrutinize their behaviours. The physic of pitches fluctuate from country to country. A model of pitch was generated to observe its characteristics. Usually in India pitches may be too slow and less bouncy in contrast with Australia and South Africa. Ball is allowed to fall under gravity on the pitch model from a height of 2 meters and bounce is observed. Bounce quality is measured by Enguage Digitilizer.A relationship is generated between compaction and vertical bounce.Inorder to create a fast and bouncy pitches to make the Indian players to perform in oversees this paper emphasis about the inclusion of calcium bentonite in varying percentages of 5,10,15,&20. From the data observed 15% bentonite is observed as optimum for the generation of pitch model.
