Pitch report Regarding the Gabba pitch in the third Test, curator David Sanderski said that the pitch here behaves differently at different times of the year. The pitch breaks down a bit more towards the end of the match, while it is fresher at the start. However, we are designing pitches that have pace and bounce. The Gabba is known for this type of pitch. This year too, like previous years, we are preparing the traditional Gabba pitch.
