Double Cut

This mainly applies to the preparation of a cricket pitch for play. The first cut is typically made in the centre of the pitch, between the stumps line, with the mower then used to cut back over in reverse of the first direction. Mowing then gradually works out in the same way to 5' one side of the middle line and then the same for 5' the other side to get the full width pitch being double cut. Also called Reverse Cut or Reverse Mowing.
