Pitch Report
The Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground is the second oldest test match venue in England after The Oval. It was established in 1857 and hosted the first Ashes test in July 1884. Traditionally this venue is good for batting but is likely to offer help to the spinners as the game gets older. Fast bowlers have always received help from this track and the records indicate the same.
