We spoke to John Dodds about life as a groundsman and the secret to having such a good pitch. @[email protected]

Pitches have been a hot topic following England's defeat at Edgbaston.
We wanted to understand the role of the groundstaff so headed to Scarborough to speak to John Dodds, who has won the ECB Outground of the Year award eight times in 12 years. #YCCC

TomGoing to be a tough game for Yorkshire after starting on a very green wicket. 255 from the first inning with Surrey gaining fast. Hoping for solid progress tomorrow. #yccc #Yorkshire #cricket
Took Otis down to the cricket yesterday for Sussex vs. Yorkshire. Love how some county grounds allow this. He really loved people watching. Hot day so we gave him plenty of water and shade. #sussex #yorkshire #yccc
Oliver MantellRe Graves perhaps returning as Chair of Yorkshire Cricket Club (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/67915549), I was struck by this defence:
“Graves… said no racism allegations were raised to him during his tenure at Yorkshire.”
We know there *were* numerous racist incidents while he ran #YCCC: what this says is that, even though it was his responsibility, no-one even thought he *might* help enough to mention *any* of them to him: and that’s meant to make him look… better?
Poor second inning from Sussex. Yorkshire needing 201 to win. #yccc
Danny StricklandThe YouTube feed from the #YCCC vs Leicestershire is terrible! It’s like a feed from Norman Collier
