I’ve been reading about Ben Stokes request for the groundsman in England to prepare flat and fast wickets for the Ashes series. Is this allowed?
Aren't groundsman employed to prepared without fear or favour and it seems so brazen. Is it a form of match fixing?

Hi Timothy,

Personally I think groundsman should be preparing wickets to the best of their ability given the prevailing conditions leading into a game. They shouldn't be listening to outside noise and maintain their professional integrity.

Cheers
