Pitch Report

The first game at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch in the New Zealand ODD this season may have been a dampener and a low-scoring one. However, that may well have been a one-off and an aberration.

The track is a beautiful one to bat on. Last season, the average score batting first was 283 runs. Thus, a relatively high-scoring New Zealand ODD game is likely to be on the cards.
