As the cricketing world eagerly awaits the clash between Australia and Pakistan in the opening Test of the three-match series, a recent revelation about the Perth pitch has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community with images of the playing surface designated for the first Test circulating online, featuring a distinctive yellowish⛄ grass covering.
The potentially lethal pitch from bowling perspective
The pictures of the potentially lethal pitch have raised concerns among some Pakistan fans, considering Australia’s fiery pace attack and their reputation for performing well on the tracks with bounce and speed. However, instead of dwelling on apprehensions, many cricket enthusiasts have seized the opportunity to inject humour into the situation, creating a hilarious meme bonanza.
Andrew McDonald’s optimism vs Mohammad Hafeez’s criticism
The greenish hue of the pitch has become the focal point of discussions, especially after Australia’s head coach, Andrew McDonald, emphasized that the match would be a well-contested battle be💟tween bat and ball, offering rewards for both batters anꦯd bowlers.
“You talk to the fast bowlers and batters and it’s a good even contest between bat and ball, anytime there is bounce and pace in the surface. If you get in, there are runs aplenty, and if you find the right line and length, there’s a reward for you as well. It always creates a fair and even contest,” McDonald explained in an interact🐼ion with Code Sport.
Contrary to McDonald’s optimism, Pakistan Team Director Mohammed Hafeez had previously criticized the warm-up game pitch, dubbing it as the “slowest pitch a visiting team could ever play on in Australia” during interaction with ESPNcricinfo..
Notably, the warm-up match between Australia and Pakistan ended in a draw, leaving questions about what li🦂es ahead in the Test ꧟series.

CLEVER AUSTRALIA?🤔 Cricket Australia provided a flat deck to Pakistan for the practice match but in return prepared a green top for the Perth Test. What a clever move by CA who have made sure Pakistan doesn't gets enough preparations. Fear from Pakistan is quite evident!
