Matches Posted First Class World Series S2 | AB de Villiers makes Melbourne rock!

[Akshay.]

A great win
The batting clicked in the first innings and then Woakes bowled beautifully to pick 5 wickets
Happy with the overall performance of the team

 

[Saroj padhy]

Good overall performance by both batsman and bowler.. Middle order issue was solved after the addition of Duminy.. But still can't find a partner for Gambhir.. Neither Patel nor Rahul batted well.

Spoiler: Pitch Types

Flat pitches are a heaven for batsmen and nightmare for bowlers (especially spinners).
Hard pitches are beneficial for faster bowlers who hit the deck hard. Batsmen who can play the short ball well are also benefitted.
Sporting pitches are a complete average of all the pitch types.
Dusty pitches are good for batsmen who can play spin well as well as for spinners who can turn the ball well.
Green pitches are a fast bowler's heaven. Great swing and seam is available to the pacers.
Dry pitches are rank turners and are a batsman's nightmare. All spinners work well here.

I forgot to tell you, a made a mistake and took a Dusty pitch instead of a dry one you told me...

That's why I was kept wondering about the abilities of our World class spinners.[DOUBLEPOST=1489165431][/DOUBLEPOST]@Akshay. Tag me when you choose your pitch type.
