Will help spinners and pacers who can vary their pace and get the ball to grip on the surface.

OTOH, batters will do well as long as they are able to read the pace of the pitch.

As someone who played quite frequently on this ground growing up, I have never seen it this dry from memory. Looks like a river bed or salt pan.
