Adelaide Oval's curator
In 2010 Damian Hough became the 10th curator of the Adelaide Oval succeeding Les Burdett.[2] As the current curator Hough has access to some tools that his predecessors like Albert Wright and Charlie Checkett did not have like the 420 tonnes of heavy clay soil from Athelstone that Lance, Burdett and Damian have all used and the drop-in pitches.[2] Damian is also able to use Chemicals on the Turf and uses some tools like a shovel.[3] Damian said that he considers it a privilege to work at the Adelaide Oval.[4] Damian helped with the T20 world cup in New York.[5][2]
