My son is now about to start playing on turf wickets after playing three seasons on artificial ones (green carpet "astroturf" on concrete). He has never played on grass, and only a couple of times trained on it. (I've never played or trained on it.) When it comes to grass, we are complete novices!
What differences can he expect? I assume less bounce means he will need to bowl a bit shorter than he's used to doing. Am I right? What other things will he need to change to be effective? Will he get more or less turn?
What things specific to spin bowling will he need to be aware of?
(His coaches will no doubt tell him a lot, but I'm curious too.)
Cheers,
Graeme
