IND v AUS, Adelaide Test: What to expect from the pink-ball Test between India and Australia?

India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings on a green-topped pitch in Perth but eventually lost the match to Australia. Pat Cummins has realized how difficult it is to handle Bumrah if the pacers get help from the pitch. Naturally, the Aussie camp is wary of Baisgaz ahead of the second Test in Adelaide.

However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has no option but to build a green-top pitch in Adelaide. The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played with the pink ball. The first condition of this ball used for Day-Night Test is to leave grass on the pitch. Otherwise, the batsmen will find it difficult to see the ball.

There are two days to go before the start of the Adelaide Test. At the moment, the pitch is devoid of more than 7 millimeters of grass. However, Adelaide's curator Damien had earlier announced that there would be little grass trimming before the match. He also confirmed that the pitch for the day-night Test in Adelaide will have 6mm of grass.

Significantly, there is a possibility of sufficient rain on the first day of the Adelaide Test on Friday. Despite this, 53,000 visitors are expected to fill the gallery. On grass pitches, the pacers get extra help. Batting on him with the pink ball becomes virtually miserable for the batters. The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is likely to be a one-sided affair.

The Adelaide curator, however, said that he and his team are trying to prepare a pitch that will balance the battle between bat and ball. They will also be looking at how the spinners can make an impact in Tests, "Damien said. The curator said that he will try to make a sporting pitch in Adelaide for the second Test. Actually, it's not that hard to understand.

Damian acknowledged that as well. He made it clear that the pacers can get a lot of help under the floodlights in cloudy weather. Apart from the help of the pitch on the first day, the curator believes that the ball will swing extra for the favorable weather.

"Adelaide's history says it's difficult to bat under floodlights." The pitch will have 6 millimeters of grass. We want to give a pitch where there will be a good fight. '
