The pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket stadium is anything but ideal. Random balls kick up awkwardly and the bounce is inconsistent.

Typically, once a drop-in pitch is put in place it is allowed to acclimatise to the conditions and then actual matches are played on it, to determine the state of readiness.
