SUPERSPORT PARK’S head groundsman, Rudolph du Preez, has given some insight into preparing the outfield and pitch for the second Sunfoil Test match between the Standard Bank Proteas and New Zealand starting on Saturday. The Centurion venue has been resurfaced and will have a completely different look and feel to last year’s early-season experience. The Black Caps were also visitors there last season when they played in an August One-Day International. On that occasion, the outfield had a dry feel to it. This time, though, things will be different.There is also a difference in preparing a pitch at this time of the year, compared to one during the traditional cricket summer months.The second Sunfoil Test will be played from August 27-31.
