AUS Vs SA: Gabba Pitch Used For First Test Receives 'below Average' Rating

By IANS News December 21, 2022 • 10:38 AM View: 1793

The Gabba pitch in Brisbane that was used for the first Test between Australia and South Africa, which ended in two days, on Tuesday received a 'below average' rating from the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Australia won the Test match by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series on Sunday, but the pitch at the Gabba came under severe fire. Played on a green top, the contest between the two sides was over under two days, with 34 wickets falling in this duration.
