Facing as a right-hander from the Kelvin Grove End, 74 meters down the ground. 59 meters square on the leg side and 69 meters towards point. 11 sixes in the last game were hit towards the short boundary. 7 of them would have been caught on the longer boundary. This was a fresh pitch the last game. Same track again. The spikes go in from the bowlers around the popping crease. Doesn't happen towards the centre. Surface is quite firm underneath, might be tacky and sticky. Pitch has had a good sprinkling of water, would have compacted the pitch a little bit. It might be just a bit tricky initially, won't come onto the bat. Will be much better batting under lights, reports Mike Haysman.
