Pitch and Conditions: "If we go to the Western terrace or the sunset 70 meters over there, 63 to the Eastern side and down town is 72, the other tricky thing is behind the wicket it is just 58 and 56 meters, players are going to be searching and thinking about that. I like what I see. It has got a bit of green about it," informs Danny Morrison. "It is a difficultfor the bowlers you'd think because of the pocket size of the boundaries, but having said that, this ground is definitely pleasing for a bowler. Yes, the spinners have done well but the seamers especially in the last game, hit the hard length and troubled the batters. The seam bowlers have done really well and that's nice but not for the batters," suggests Anjum Chopra. "The average first innings score is 168," adds Danny. "That is a good score but you need more on the board. It is a good surface but the seam bowlers will be a little tempted seeing the grass," concludes Anjum.
