How is the Melbourne pitch?
Talking to the media regarding the Melbourne pitch, curator Matt Page said that this time more grass has been left on the pitch, so that the match remains exciting and the bowlers can get some help. However, he also said that the batsmen will not find it difficult to play and as the ball gets older, it will become easier to score runs.
Spinners will not get much help
The curator also told that this time the spinners will not get much help on the pitch. In the last few years, Melbourne’s pitch has been helpful for fast bowlers and this time too it will be the same. Although, this pitch will not be as fast as Perth, but good bounce and pace can be seen in it. The bowlers are expected to get seam movement with the new ball, so it will be a challenge for the bowlers in the first few overs.
