If cricket is played in these countries, how will the pitches be like?

[MechEng]

1.) China 2.) Germany 3.) USA Hard to say about China, but Germany will have similar pitches like those in England since the weather of 2 countries is very very similar. US will probably have Aussie like pitches, since they are much closer to the Caribbean where there are bouncy pitches too.

I can assure you that Chinese pitches will be sub-standard in quality, keeping in tradition with other areas.

I think the German pitches will be very special indeed. They would be engineered in such a way that a player wouldn't be able to run across them. Instead, he would have to goose step.

There are bouncy pitches in Caribbean?

china like sharjah germany like perth usa like florida

[Crookbond]

Isn't Florida in USA? :hmmmm2:

[bulbul]

China pitches will be copied from England/Aus USA - Dropdown pitches Germany - Pitches prepared by robots

[superstar]

Chinese pitches will crumble after 1 over :)

Chinese pitches will be hard to Judge as they come with no Guarantees.

Indian immigrants are playing cricket in Germany, in baden württemberg, Wiesloch. Pitches are unheard off, they cut the grass short and play on them, so we can say pitches would be grassy.

Isn't Florida in USA? :hmmmm2:

This is silly. If India wanted pitches like Australia or England it's not hard to produce them at obvious locations. Any country can produce any pitches. It's the players' capability that define what pitches will be produced.

[Needforspeed]

If USA start playing cricket seriously, we are going to see synthetic pitches.

[Serani]

Germany and England do not have similar weather, the German summer is a lot better than what we have here, aka in Birmingham it has rained every day for two weeks without fail, oh apart from today, praise the lord. So I would say Germany would have more New Zealand like tracks.

Test matches in the USA would be fantastic. With the wide range of weather conditions prevalent in different parts of the country at the same time, it would be a treat to watch players have to battle in hot and humid conditions one day, and then play in the freezing cold just a week after.

The ICC Global Cricket Academy, at Dubai Sports City, is using black soil from Perth to construct Australia cricket pitches, in a unique project to replicate cricket conditions from around the world. As part of the vision to create the best training facility in the world, the ICC Global Cricket Academy is reproducing a variety of pitch types from the UK, Asian sub-continent and Australia. The work involves importing specific types of clay, soil, and turf using varying preparation and agronomic practices to replicate the characteristics of each surface. "What we are attempting here is unique," said Tony Hemming, head curator, ICC Global Cricket Academy. "Never before has a project attempted to bring the different cricket conditions from all over the world to one location. We are confident we can create an environment where players experience the intricate differences in each country." Nearly 200 tonnes of clay recently arrived from Perth in Western Australia, and is being laid at the ICC Global Cricket Academy ovals and practice area. Another 200 tonnes of clay from Brisbane, as used at the Gabba cricket ground, will complete the other half of the Australian-style pitches. Experts hope to imitate the playing surface experienced at the WACA ground in Perth, which has traditionally offered hard, bouncy conditions. "The ICC Global Cricket Academy will become the centre of cricket, and we want to ensure that visitors can experience cricket conditions from all over the world," said Marc Archer, General Manager, ICC Global Cricket Academy. "This project - to bring the playing environments of Australia, the UK, and the Asian sub-continent to Dubai � will allow players to gain a better knowledge of the different styles of international cricket conditions, and fully-prepare them for what they will face when touring." Clay from Pakistan has already arrived, and is laid at both ovals and the practice wickets, whilst the clay from England is also in Dubai, with more than half already laid. The ICC Global Cricket Academy has also constructed its own 'reverse osmosis plant' to ensure that the water used to maintain the pitches is free from salt and chemicals which could damage the playing surface.
