ICC to use chemical spray to offset dew at Mohali

October 24, 2006

In an attempt to reduce the extent of dew on the outfield, the ICC has decided to use a chemical spray tomorrow morning for the Pakistan-New Zealand clash at Mohali. Ropes, sooper-soppers and mops have been tried as solutions but the dew factor continues to play a critical role in one-day games, especially in the subcontinent, with the balance tilted heavily in favour of the team batting second.

APSA-80, a chemical manufactured by Amway, will be employed at Mohali. “I cannot tell you the percentage level, exactly, by which the dew can be removed. But experts suggest that it has been helpful,” Brian Murgatroyd, ICC’s communications manager, told Cricinfo. Chemicals had been sprayed on the outfield before, during an India v South Africa one-dayer at Centurion Park. On that ocassion India successfully defended 234 and interestingly it was Harbhajan Singh, the offspinner, who starred in the second innings. The dew has often rendered spinners ineffective, making it difficult to grip the ball, but that one instance suggests that the chemicals might assist in negating the dew.

Apparently the idea came from John Bracewell, New Zealand’s coach, who suggested the solution after observing the outfield last evening. “We’d discussed several ideas like starting games early and so on,” Murgatroyd continued, “but we decided to do a bit of research into the chemicals and came upon this as an effective solution.”

David Richardson, the ICC’s Manager, Cricket, said: "Dew and the effect it has on day-night cricket has been something that everyone is conscious of.

“And although it has not played a major role in the ICC Champions Trophy so far we are keen that should remain the case for the rest of the tournament and that every match should be a fair contest between bat and ball.”

He also revealed that it would be ensured “that outfields are not watered on the day of a match and that they are cut shorter to reduce the amount of grass that is available for dew to cling to”.

The procedure is not believed to have any effect on the ball.

don't expect that our opening bowlers are going to do anything, specially Rana.he will not even finish his 10 overs. its our batting which is going to win for us.

Pakistan has won the toss and elected to bowl.

Pakistan team unchanged. That means NZ will have some friendly bowling from Rana. :(

Re: ICC Champions Trophy 8th Match: Oct 25th, Pakistan vs New Zealand, Mohali (D/N)

i think pak should have batted first, but given the current bowling attack - not too sure if they can be confident even after posting a 270 plus target.

7 mins to start

So you have changed your opinion on Rana and don't regard him as a bowler of highest quality anymore?

Re: ICC Champions Trophy 8th Match: Oct 25th, Pakistan vs New Zealand, Mohali (D/N)

Well his bowling since returning from injury has not been the same. he is badly out of form. He is no where near the bowler he was before he got injured. every player goes through such phases and in such circumstances they should be rested.
