Perhaps making the point than an ideal crosswind landing on any surface is fine.

I believe it's only when one lands a little crabwise that the lesser friction of wet grass comes into its own by allowing the tyres to slide sideways slightly at the moment of touchdown and hence relieving some of the strain on the airframe.
