What is the Gabba H3 Hybrid Pitch?
The award winning H3 Hybrid Pitch combines high quality synthetic grass and natural cricket wicket clay to offer an exceptional playing surface. This unique blend not only ensures realistic bounce, seam, and spin but also provides a low maintenance and cost-effective surface that is perfect for practice, matches, and tournaments.
Installation of H3 hybrid cricket pitches is an ideal alternative to traditional turf pitches due to their longevity and superior durability.
Testing
Over the last 10 years the Pitch has endured the desert elements and has been used over 1000+ hours. We have taken clegg hammer readings of 300 gravitates and compared them with our readings from both artificial cricket pitches and natural turf cricket pitches. Hybrid cricket pitches can get very hard, like third-day test pitches. By using different clays each pitch can change its characteristics to its home ground advantage.
We have had professional teams like Kent, Lancashire, Durham, Indian Premier League teams, ICC Associate countries and international teams such as Pakistan, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka. All have been positive in comments, England coach Peter Moore's "It's amazing this had not been tried before, it really challenges the batsmen and bowlers."

Evaluating Hybrid Turf Pitches for Community Cricket: Preliminary Report prepared by Jonathan Connor — for CRICKET AUSTRALIA
Lecturer | James Cook University | Project Results
The study involved players with an average age of 37.5 years, comprising amateur senior grade (66.7%), masters (29.6%), and juniors (3.7%). Player perceptions showed the pitch delivered moderate speed (58%), standard bounce height (42%), and standard lateral deviation (42%). Consistency was rated highly across pace, bounce height, spin, and pitch breakup characteristics.
These findings demonstrate that the H3 Hybrid Pitch provides a consistent, turf-like playing experience that is suitable for competitive cricket at all levels.
