PITCH REPORT

"It is slightly overcast today. There is a tinge of grass on this wicket but that wouldn't excite the fast bowlers. Is is white and it is firm and the curator told that we have tried to get the mositure out. 'Spinners can expect nothing'. There will be some mositure initially but after that it will be a proper batting track", reckons Michael Holding during pitch report
