Pitch report

“66m and 73m square boundaries. The straight boundary is massive at 80m. A lush outfield, the wicket is made up of black clay and it’s not a friend of the spinners. There are large chink of cracks, so there could be some movement for the pacers. There is a nice grass covering and the brown patches are well rolled. Expect more runs. 200-plus runs have been scored by the team batting first, the average 1st innings score has gone up to 170-plus this season, reckon Matthew Hayden and Ian Bishop.
