• "Come full-time it resembled what one can only describe as a groundsman's worst nightmare."
• "A short time ago the groundsman, at my request, broke open the ground at the wicket, and went down to a depth of over one foot, and, as I suspected from its non-draining condition, I found the soil all the way down similar to what it was on the surface."
