Study Notes

- The pitch was very flat and provided very little assistance to any type of bowler, which was the main reason why batters scored very fast.
- Since there was very little in it for the bowlers, I found the pitch to be 'below average' as per the ICC guidelines.
- This means the venue has now received two demerit points from consecutive Tests under the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process and could be in danger of being suspended from hosting any international cricket.
