AUS vs WI 2nd Test 2024: The Gabba, Brisbane Pitch Report

The Gabba’s pitch conditions have remained relatively consistent over the decades, providing significant bounce and pace that pacers appreciate. The upcoming clash between the West Indies and Australia is likely to showcase the Gabba’s natural traits.

Australia’s formidable pace attack, particularly with the skiddy pink ball, poses a threat to the inexperienced West Indies batsmen. Nathan Lyon, the off-spinner, could come into play with his ability to generate overspin and induce bat-pad catches on the bouncy surface. As the Test progresses, the pitch may experience wear and tear, offering the tall Aussie quicks opportunities for unpredictable bounce off the good-length area.
