Germanos says, "We're on pitch number 5. There's a slight bias on the one side; 61m on the on-side, 66m on the off-side. But, 74m down the ground which is the longer side". Katich thinks, "There's plenty of wind and the dew. Teams generally like to chase. When you look at the surface, it's rock hard and generally don't expect a lot of spin. It's a high scoring ground. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult felt tough on this. But, the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood should make the difference"
