Australia's BGT Star, Once Curator At India's 36 All Out Venue, Labels Adelaide Pitch As "Best"

Ahead of the pink-ball, day-night Adelaide Test against India, Australia's ace spinner Nathan Lyon expects the Adelaide Oval wicket to spin and called it the "best cricket wicket in the world". Lyon, who was once an assistant curator at the Adelaide Oval, will be aiming to conquer the Adelaide pitch as Australia seeks their best chance of fighting back against India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series with the pink-ball, day-night Test taking place. Having a record of 11 wins and a loss in pink-ball Tests, Aussies would be no doubt fired up to turn the tables after a 295-run loss at Perth.

Australia's "6mm Grass Plan" To Beat India In Adelaide Test, Pitch Curator's Big Revelation

Ahead of the pink-ball Adelaide Test between India and Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Damian Hough, the head curator of the pitch at the venue, said that six millimeters of grass will be used on the pitch. The Adelaide Test, starting on December 6, sees India entering with both a mental and physical edge, following a dominant performance in the first Test led by Jasprit Bumrah's bowling and captaincy. However, the visitors will also aim to exorcise the memories of the infamous 2020 Adelaide pink-ball Test, where they were dismissed for their lowest Test score of 36 runs. On that occasion, Pat Cummins (4/21) and Josh Hazlewood (5/8) dismantled the Indian batting line-up, giving Australia a straightforward target of 90 runs to chase.
