Today’s SRH vs LSG pitch report

Conditions a little overcast, which is probably very good for the players because it is an afternoon game. This is a traditionally a high-scoring ground. The surface looks goods. A little bit dry, if we go down and have a look. I think it’s a little bit dry since it’s a day game. It might spin a little as the game goes on. Looks like a 200 plus and bat-first wicket.” – Danny Morrison and Michael Clarke
