On Day 2, there’ll be a shower in the morning but after that it will be humid with clouds followed by a brightening sky. Monday i.e. Day 3 will also have the same conditions with a couple of showers and then the weather will be humid with intervals of clouds and sunshine.
Day 4 will have a couple of showers in the morning with the weather brightening up while Day 5 will begin as a partly sunny day before a thunderstorm in the afternoon.
The Gabba Pitch report
With the venue being one of Australia’s least favourite during the Christmas and New Year time due to it missing the bounce and pace which it offers during the summer, the curator has said that this time the pitch will offer its traditional carry.
“Different times of year definitely makes it different, it can be a slightly different pitch,” said curator David Sandurski as per cricket.com.au.
“Pitches later in the season might have a bit more wear and tear while ones early in the season usually are a bit fresher and might have a bit more in them. Generally speaking, we still prepare the pitch the exact same way every time to try and get the same good carry, pace and bounce that the Gabba is known for. We are just trying to make a traditional Gabba wicket like we do each year,” he added.
