South Africa’s bowling coach Piet Botha feels the wicket at the Barsapara Stadium will be much better for batting, but he is interested in knowing if the curators will be shaving off the liberal covering of grass from the red soil track.
The second and final Test starts here on Saturday with India trailing 0-1 after their defeat in Kolkata.
“As far as the pitch is concerned, it’s still two days to go. So it’s difficult to predict if they will actually shave off more grass or not. That will obviously make a difference,” Botha told the media on Thursday.
“But what we have heard is that it seems to be a good batting track up front, and spin comes into picture late. But we’ll have to wait and see,” said the South African bowling coach.
