Australia vs England Test Pitch Report

The pitch at The Gabba will have quite favourable conditions for the bowlers due to the overcast weather throughout the five days. However, there will be a great quality of bounce on this track that will work highly in favour of the pace bowlers as seen in the recent while. But the batters will have to show application to score runs on this wicket. Thus, picking more of fast bowlers from either of the teams from the fantasy cricket point of view.
