Pitch and Conditions: 'We are in the land of the Super Giants, | Sports Fantasy Guruji

Pitch and Conditions: "We are in the land of the Super Giants, one thing we have got here is a giant boundary - 73 meters on one side and that's lot bigger than normal, 80 meters in the corner/pockets, other side is 66 meters. As a bowler you will be so happy to see such an expansive field," says an ecstatic Graeme Swann. "This ground has some of the longest boundaries and that's what you want to see with the kind of power that the batters exhume nowadays. As a spinner I don't think you would like this pitch as there's lot more grass on this surface. Grass being left on the pitches now to ensure they don't crumble and also because India have discovered so many new fast bowlers. All of them are making the ball fly. Every team are encouraging the groundsman to put a little more grass. The ball will come on to the bat nicely and if you are a good player, you can make use of the pace and bang the ball around. We can see lot more runs despite the big boundaries," reckons Sunil Gavaskar.
