KEN vs ESS Match 122 The Spitfire Ground Report
One of the more batting-friendly pitches in England, the track in the Spitfire Ground sees teams regularly cross the 160-run mark, which is above average for stadiums in this country. As expected, there will be some grass coverage of the surface, which would help the ball move around early in the first inning. But then, as the pitch settles down, the batters start coming into the game. There is some help for spin later in the match, but for the most part, it is a batter’s pitch and batting second is the better choice here. As for the boundary dimensions, the square boundaries are around 65m in length, while the straight ones are about 72m away from the batter.
