The Gabba pitch was a completely green wicket with batters from both sides struggling to bat on the wicket. The bowlers from both sides had their say with all the bowlers sharing the wickets between themselves. 

Given how the first Test panned out at the Gabba, the MCG wickets need to be a far more sporting one. The pitch curator should ensure that it lasts across the five days of the Test match and plays out evenly.

South Africa would desperately need to win this series and stay in contention for the WTC finals ahead of Sri Lanka and India. South Africa have not lost a test series against Australia since 2008 as the Proteas bowlers would look to exploit the pacy and bouncy conditions provided by Australian pitches.
