We are on pitch number 6 today. Boundaries are 64 meters towards square leg, 66 meters to its opposite side (right-hander), and 72 meters down the ground. The surface looks absolutely wonderful. When there's a good covering of grass, it's always a good indicator of good, consistent bounce. When you get that in this stadium, those boundaries can be anywhere in the world, you still should be able to clear them. Stats say it's a 185 first innings score, 200 has been reached 10 times out of the last 17 matches. Groundsman says dew is expected, you've got to chase. Even if you lose the toss, your batters need to giddy up, you take no prisoners - it is a batter's wicket. You have to make the most of it. Advantage is always chasing, but if you find youself outside the advantage, try and get ahead of the game, reports Matthew Hayden and Eoin Morgan.
