What will be the mood of the pitch in Perth?
Perth pitch is known for its fast bounce and pace, in such a situation the most difficult decision is to take LBW. Recently, pitch curator Isaac McDonald had said that in the first Test of India vs Australia, grass can be seen on the pitch, seeing which it can be estimated that the ball will come out faster after being hit. He also said that there has been no sunshine in Perth for the last few days, due to which the mood of the pitch may appear to have changed a bit. But batting here will not be easy in any situation.
