Perth will go against Auckland in the Australia ABL on December 2. The Wild West is back. The Perth Stadium ground crew promises a pitch with plenty of speed and bounce for the start of his NRMA insurance test in Perth. The Australian summer tests will be a tough first day for Frank Worrell in his trophy battle to decide who gets bowled first as he starts Wednesday in 35-degree heat in Western Australia. But at least there will be some initial help. Curator Isaac McDonald said on Tuesday that he expects pace and bounce from day one, consistent with what he experienced at the T20 World Championships.
This could be a throwback to the famous resilient wicket he made at WACA decades ago, using the same Waroona River floor. “Past recent pitches have had a fast, fast, springy quality, so we’re trying to emulate that in the long run,” McDonald said. Its pitch and its lateral cracks evoked memories of the 1996-97 test between Australia and the West Indies. There, Greg his Blewett was overwhelmed by a ball at ankle height and Cartley his Ambrose ran with his racket stuck in the crack. Players are wary of a similar situation this year. But McDonald hopes his 12mm turf left in the 37-degree heat the day before the game will offset that and contribute to a more mature turf than he did four years ago.
