Pitch Report:
The pitch for the third Border-Gavaskar Test series can see the typical pace and bounce as the game is set to take place in the early part of the summer season. The Gabba’s curator also mentioned that there might be a bit more to offer in terms of pace.
“Different times of year definitely make it different, it can be a slightly different pitch," Gabba curator David Sandurski was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
“Pitches later in the season might have a bit more wear and tear while ones early in the season usually are a bit fresher and might have a bit more in them. Generally speaking, we still prepare the pitch the exact same way every time to try and get the same good carry, pace and bounce that the Gabba is known for. We are just trying to make a traditional Gabba wicket like we do each year," he added.
