Stanley Park, Blackpool pitch report
The Stanley Park in Blackpool offers a very good track to bat on. We saw Nottinghamshire nearly chase down 182 against Lancashire in the only domestic men’s T20 game held at this venue. The bowlers need to hit the right areas consistently to avoid damage.
The pacers need to use off-pace deliveries and rely on them as the ball arrives nicely on to the bat and the batters can hit through the line right from the start of their innings. The spinners may come into play in the latter stages of the game.
