These days all the pitches in Australia are different. In Perth there is pace, bounce and crack. In Adelaide there is swing at night with the pink ball. At Gabba there is fast and “Bouncy pitch.”
The curator further said, “For us it is about getting as much pace bounce as we can. Will it be like other pitches? ‘No.’ That’s the beauty of Australian cricket. So it won’t be like Perth. That’s what we want.
