PITCH REPORT
The pitch at Simonds Stadium has always been a great place to run, helping both bowlers and batters. The old ball moves as the new one comes in and goes out. The ball gets worn down when there have been too many overs, making it easier to bat. The winner of the coin toss gets to choose who goes first as reported by The Australia Time.
