gaba pitch report
The Gabba is traditionally one of the fastest and bounciest surfaces in Australia. Fast bowlers will get a lot of joy in the beginning. The ball goes to the keeper at a good height, rewarding those who hit the deck hard. While the new ball zips, the Gabba is known as a high-scoring ground after the initial buzz subsides. Spinners generally struggle for wickets here, averaging over 33 compared to 23 for the fast bowlers.
