MELBOURNE CRICKET STADIUM (MELBOURNE)

The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), also known locally as "The 'G",is an Australian sports stadium located in Yarra Park, Melbourne, Victoria. Founded and managed by the Melbourne Cricket Club, it is the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere. The first scoreboard at the MCG was built in 1882. Since then, it has taken many forms and is currently the best and the largest scoreboard available in Australia - state-of-the-art LED-high-definition screen which is 25.24 metres wide and 13.17 metres high. The current facility enables one to see both, batting and bowling cards on one screen. Also, it was at the MCG that Australia's first full colour video scoreboard was put in place. The world's first all-colour cricket scoreboard with instant replays was installed at the MCG.

MELBOURNE CRICKET STADIUM (MELBOURNE)Pitch Report

The 22-yards at the MCG is considered to be one of the most competitive surfaces in the world. It offers a fine balance between bat and ball. While the bowlers get some assistance early on with mostly genuine bounce, as it gets old, the batsmen can play their strokes freely. However, generally, the spinners do not get much of a purchase at the MCG.

Test Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

The surface came for some criticism last year, with some suggesting that the pitch was to flat and not assistance was given to the bowlers. The pitch in Melbourne has equally favoured the batsmen and the bowlers. In the previous two Tests, teams batting first have posted 400+ totals in the first innings. The fast bowlers receive some assistance from the wicket on the second and the third days. In the final phase, the spinners also come into the play. In this ground 11 test matches played is been played in last 10 years in which 3 matches won by the team batting first and 6 matches won by the team batting second and 2 matches was drawn.

BIG BASH LEAGUE Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

The surface at the Melbourne Stadium is a good batting surface, as it has true bounce and the batters can play their shots freely. The pitch is also conducive to fast bowling and pacers need to extract every last bit of assistance from the surface to keep the scoring-rate under control. The team who wins the toss looks to chase on this surface. The team batting first will look to get as close as possible to the 180-run mark to make it a contest. As of now the ground has witnessed 63 league matches where the team batting first has won 26 matches and the team chasing has won 37 matches
