Some balls spat up from a good length, while others skidded through low - perhaps most notably, the pea-roller which accounted for Azmatullah Omarzai against Papua New Guinea.The square was relaid before the World Cup and preparations were hit by rain in the build-up to the opening game at the venue, West Indies' win over New Zealand. New Zealand were not happy with the quality of training pitches on offer, and cut their session an hour short on the eve of the match. "It was deemed not really acceptable," Gary Stead, their coach, said.Samuel Badree, who has commentated on dozens of games at the Brian Lara Academy, believes that the variable bounce owes to the "patchiness" of the surface."There are lots of areas with grass and then there are lots of bare areas, which makes it so difficult because you can't predict the bounce of the pace," he told ESPNcricinfo. "Some balls turn, some don't turn, some bounce, some keep low. It's challenging for the batters - and there's a significant dew factor as well."But Daren Ganga, another regular commentator at the venue across the CPL and international cricket, believes that the bounce will be truer in Wednesday night's semi-final between Afghanistan and South Africa after remedial work over the past two weeks."They have adapted the pitch to have more of an even covering of grass density along the cracks," Ganga told ESPNcricinfo. "The grass in the cracks is what has created the variability in bounce and pace. That's going to change and that's going to improve. It's going to be a higher-scoring venue. You wouldn't see that variability again: I can assure you of that."The central strip - pitch No. 5 - will be used, meaning that there will not be a short boundary for batters to target. "It's probably a 155-160 par type of pitch," Ganga predicted. Scores were significantly lower in the four group games there, in part because three Associate teams batted first in matches against Full Members.The pitches have proved hard to predict in the venue's short history, since its completion in 2017. In December, England racked up 267 for 3 there thanks to Phil Salt's second successive hundred; two nights later, on the same strip, they were spun out for 132 in a tight defeat. It suggests that the surface can change quickly.T20 World Cup stats:Matches: 4 Average first-innings score: 91 Average runs per over: 5.48 Defending wins: 1 Chasing wins: 3All T20Is stats since July 2022:Matches: 8 Average first-innings score: 138 Average runs per over: 7.18 Defending wins: 4 Chasing wins: 4 SwoonKitchenbar.230726 Swoon 13 SwoonKitchenbar.230726 Swoon 5 ?format=1500w Photo Swoon Kitchenbar 15991474492092626 Swoon Kitchenbar Interior 230908 SwoonKitchenBar 0424 L Photo Swoon Kitchenbar 15991474470649335 SwoonKitchenbar.230526 Swoon 36 SwoonKitchenbar.230526 Swoon 23 Sw16 Roasts Justindesouza 40 21122022115854 ?w=800 IMG 1468 1 PXL 20220122 130606371 01 Bbbeed7de8 PrivateDining ?format=1500w IMG 1469 1 IMG 2295.JPG RawImage Image Asset Image Asset Photo Swoon Kitchenbar 15991474456148195 26 Scaled IMG 1479 3 IMG 1464 1 1200x0 Untitled 76 2 231222 Swoon 1062 ?format=1500w 2T9A3567 2 IMG 1467 1 21 Scaled HR05ydAiWELzWtCLRbLXflkW21o09p S7eCLEllsLYE ?auto=webp&s=32b1ec70064ee0565af08b8514451ef3f6aaf644 2T9A3907 2 Widen 1680 Noupsize;2965 Sw16 Bar Kitchen Venue SW16 Brunch Shot 4 Optimised 2T9A3656 2
