BGT 2024-25: Gabba Curator Predicts 'fresher' Pitch For Brisbane Test
Brisbane Test: While inclement weather has forced the Australian team to train indoors at the Gabba, curator David Sandurski has hinted at the advantages of an early-season pitch, which could provide Pat Cummins and his bowling attack the perfect stage to unsettle India in the third Test between Australia and India, which kicks off on Saturday.
"Different times of year definitely make it different; it can be a slightly different pitch," Sandurski told news.com.au. "Pitches later in the season might have a bit more wear and tear, while ones early in the season usually are a bit fresher and might have a bit more in them."
Sandurski assured that the preparation approach remains consistent, aiming to deliver the signature pace, bounce, and carry that have made the Gabba a challenging venue for visiting teams. "We are just trying to make a traditional Gabba wicket like we do each year," he added.
