Re: Ballarat Cricket Association
Western Oval is a batsman's paradise. Played there twice now after christmas and both times the pitch was a road. Every now and then one would shoot through without bouncing but not enough to really worry. Outfield isn't the worst going around as long as the grass is cut to stop most of the undulation. Brown Hill 2's made 314 first week and we chased it down so there's plenty of runs to be had there.

There is really a shortage of quality grounds due to drought but Western looks ok from a distance. How has the wicket been playing?
