IND vs AUS: The market of discussions is very hot for the second match of Border Gavaskar Trophy. Both Australia and India teams have geared up for the Pink Ball Test. The pitch curator also has a big responsibility. The pitch curator of Adelaide Oval will be expected to prepare a pitch that can entertain the fans and watch good cricket. The second Test will be held at Adelaide Oval from 6th December. This day night match will be played with pink ball. Two days before the match, Chief Curator of Adelaide Pitch, Damien Hough has talked about the nature of the pitch and the weather. He has also expressed the possibility of rain and storm on the first day.

6 mm grass will be available on the pitch

There is a possibility of 6 mm of grass being left on the field of Adelaide Oval. A similar pitch was prepared in the Sheffield Shield match played between South Australia and Western Australia. The match was inconclusive and ended in a draw. Damien Hough said, 'Shield game, whether it is red ball or pink, we are trying to replicate the Shield and Test preparation.'

The pitch will help both batsmen and bowlers

According to the curator, as the game progresses, the pitch will help both batsmen and bowlers. So that a good competition will be seen. On choosing between India and Australia, Damien said, 'No, I don't know who has the upper hand. May the best team win. But yes, look, we're just trying to create a uniquely Adelaide Oval pitch, so hopefully there's something for everyone. Since 2015, we have tried to create pitches with the same style and characteristics for all longer formats of cricket, be it Test cricket or first-class cricket.

Curator expressed fear of rain and storm

Expressing the possibility of rain and storm on the day of the match, the curator said, 'Right now, two days before the first ball, it looks like it may rain on Friday. We have had some unseasonal rain in the last few weeks. There is also a possibility of storm. It looks like it will be around Friday, so I don't know if it will be in the morning or afternoon. I will consider this when we get the forecast in about three hours, and I will have a better understanding of what it looks like.
