DTVHINDIAUS vs IND 2024-25: Know what is snake crack? Which the Perth pitch curator did not expect amid heavy rain
The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium, Perth from 22 November. Perth (Image Credit- Twitter X) Snake cracks in the pitch are a common thing in Perth, Australia. Because of this, the bowlers get a lot of pace and bounce in the old cricket ground located at WACA, Perth. So, the new stadium recently completed at Optus Stadium in Perth is also of this type. The bowlers will also get to see pace and bounce from this pitch, and as the game progresses, the snake cracks on the pitch will open up further. Because of this, spinners can play an important role. Because sometimes these cracks can open up to the extent of 5 mm and batting in this situation is not at all easy. However, preparations for the new pitch that has been completed at the Optus Stadium have been hampered by continuous rain. The pitch had been covered for a long time and this has forced pitch curator Issac McDonald to adapt to the conditions. But despite this, he feels that there will be an equal competition between ball and bat in the first test match of BGT starting from November 22 in Perth. He also said that the pitch is expected to be bad, but big snake cracks are not expected, which troubles the batsmen a lot. Issac McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the first match of BGT starting in Perth, Issac McDonald was quoted by Business Standard as saying – This (Snake Crack) is based on a lot of conditions. At the moment, we are leaning towards rolling it a little more over the top for a pleasant even collision between bat and ball. It would be good for the pitch if the sun comes out. But really the curating team is spontaneous. I don’t think this weather will spoil the pitch, but there will be some deterioration in the pitch. But with big snake cracks like the ones at the Waka, I don’t think the weather will take us there.
So can we expect to see India vs Pakistan series very soon?

According to a report by Cricket Pakistan, Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi said, ‘Very soon an ODI series can be played between these two countries. However, nothing can be confirmed right now whether this is completely likely to happen in the future.’ It is very important for players to pass the fitness test: Mohsin Naqvi The performance of the Pakistan team was very poor in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the team could not make it to the semi-finals. Not only this, Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage itself and could not even confirm its place in the Super 8. Mohsin Naqvi also said that it has been confirmed that all the matches of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan and at the same time, if the players of our country want to participate in it, then they will also have to pass the fitness test. The PCB chief said, ‘It is very important for the players to pass the fitness test. We are all very serious about their fitness and it will not be taken lightly at all. The fitness test will also include a Yoyo test. Not only this, players who do not play domestic cricket will not get a place in the international team again.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
