The pitch at the Perth Stadium for the Australia-India Test provided a fascinating spectacle, offering good bounce and carry without being treacherous, challenging batters effectively.
Young curator Isaac McDonald, though initially nervous about the pitch, managed to create a surface that delivered lively play, which was more about pace than peril.
Despite the struggles of batters on the day, the pitch itself was not the villain; it provided conditions that were tricky yet balanced, favoring the pace bowlers.
The collective memory of the Waca lives on, with current matches at Perth Stadium still evoking the spirit of that legendary pitch known for its fast-paced challenges.
