Pitches in Australia have traditionally been known to be good for fast bowlers these pitch has some grass, though not green enough to leave batsmen anxious.
The word wicket often occurs in reference to the pitch. Although technically incorrect according the Laws of Cricket (Law 7 covers the pitch and Law 8 the wickets, distinguishing between them), cricket players, followers, and commentators persist in the usage, with context eliminating any possible ambiguity. Track is yet another synonym for pitch.
