Well said tony and adam
As a bowler myself, the first thing i do when i prepare, even before stretching, is check the approaches to make sure that they are safe and able to be bowled on. At Woodville in the Jnr State trials, there was no airconitioner (part AMF fault...hasnt anyone heard of a repairman???) and the outside conditions were very very humid. in the first game of 6 the approaches were fine, but from there they went down hill. I requested on behalf of many bowlers for something to be done after the third game. seeing as that nothing was done, i went to that staff. the AM (who no longer works there) turned around and said to me "a poor workman always blames his tools". that sealed it, ppl just dont care about safety anymore. 3 people had fallen heavily and that was in the 2nd game.
The staff of centres during major tournies should make bowler safety a priority because, and as u said adam, there is the issue of public liability. All bowlers ask for is SAFE condiditons to bowl on, NOT easy to bowl on.
Well that is what i think, and i know it is about shield, i still think it is important for people to know that bowlers safety is at risk
