Venue timelines

3 to 3.5 runs per over.
Olympics era 2 (1920-1936): Truer wickets for batting, average scoring rates around
3.5 to 4.0 runs per over.
Early-ODI era (1971-1983): Evenly balanced contests between bat and ball, average scoring rates around
4.0 to 4.5 runs per over.
Mid-ODI era (1985-1999): Slightly better for batting than the previous era, average scoring rates around
4.5 to 5.0 runs per over.
Pre-Twenty20 era (2000-2009): More in favor of batsmen than previous eras, average scoring rates around
5.0 to 5.5 runs per over.

Explanation on pitch types
Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.
Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.
Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way
Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind where most batsmen rarely score at above 2 an over.
