“ I heard all about the wacker clay or something like that—it looked a lot harder and drier. It wasn’t the same wicket as the one we had the practice game on, so it was a bit different for us. But throughout the game, I thought the wicket was quite quick. As Matt was getting it through, and obviously we have some quick bowlers in our team—KG and Marco could really push it through, even Wiaan was getting it through nicely too. So, I think the wicket had pace in it, no doubt about it, but I think the variability in the bounce is what made it quite challenging for both teams. I think we just had the extra yard, the extra height to extract maybe a little bit more out of it,
