Pace vs Spin on Venue

(Last 10 match)

The Mardyke surface generally offers something for everyone. Early on, seamers can find movement off the pitch, especially with the new ball under overcast conditions. However, once batters settle in, the true bounce allows for free stroke play. Spinners may come into play later in the innings, particularly if the pitch dries out. The average first-innings score here tends to hover around the 230–250 mark, making it a venue where both batting first and chasing are viable strategies. Captains may opt to field first if conditions favour early swing.
