India vs Australia: The Oval Pitch for World Test Championship Final
Lee Fortis, the pitch curator of The Oval, has stated that the pitch for the upcoming World Test Championship final between India and Australia will be a bouncy one. This is in line with the traditional nature of the Oval pitch, which is known to offer true bounce and is usually beneficial for batters. However, the initial images of the pitch showed an excessive amount of grass on it, which sparked speculation about the nature of the pitch.
Fortis’ Thoughts on the Pitch
Fortis expressed his optimism about the pitch when he spoke to India spinner R Ashwin on the latter’s Youtube channel. He said, “It will be a good Oval pitch. It will be bouncy that is one thing. It will be bouncy. Let us hope so (there is no rain). English summer for a change.”
India’s Track Record at The Oval
Ashwin has experience playing county cricket at The Oval, the home of Surrey. Out of the 14 Tests India have played at the venue, they have lost five, drawn seven and won only two.
India’s Team Selection
India are currently trying to decide whether to play both Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja or to opt for a fourth pace-bowling option for the important match.
