Exclamation Pitch Selection



This How I Did Mine

I considered the following:

1. Team philosophy: aggressive, cohesive, and absolutely ruthless masters of our own, inhospitable environment, the one and only Candlestick Park.
We will take no prisoner. We will leave no doubt.
We will chew up the devil and spit him out just watch him suffer before he dies.
Yes, your hell can be cold, windy and foggy in the middle of the summer.

2. Geographical location and unique weather pattern of my home ground.

3. A fast and bouncy pitch that grips well and offers enough variation to accommodate our panoramic attack, but doesn't deteriorate in a 3-4 hour match. A pitch built by a Curator with a solid reputation to build such pitches.

4. The type of players (each with exceptional hand-eye coordination/pace/swing/revs/drift) who will give me the decisive advantage under those conditions while being more than capable of being just as brutal in totally different conditions.


Be Afraid, Be VERY Afraid!
