BGT 2024-25: Thunderstorms To Affect Day One Of Pink-ball Test In Adelaide, Says Pitch Curator
Adelaide Test: Adelaide is currently basking in sunshine before the second Border-Gavaskar Test, a day-night match starts on December 6. But pitch curator Damian Hough says thunderstorms could disrupt day one, with clear weather expected from day two.
On the 22 yards at the Adelaide Oval, six millimetres of grass has been left, which is a standard practice in day-night Tests to preserve the condition of the pink Kookaburra ball. Australia have won all seven of their pink-ball Tests in Adelaide, while India are playing a day-night Test for the first time after March 2022.
“Weather, yes, is a short answer to that (affecting the game). Right now, with over two days out from the first ball, it does look like Friday could be wet with some thunderstorms. We’ve had some unseasonable thunderstorms over the last few weeks. We’re normally quite dry in our climate, so we’ve had a few storms around.
