The Oval has pace and bounce which benefits both bowlers and batsmen. It allows pace bowlers to get carry through to the keeper and hurry batsmen with the short ball. It allows spinners to get bounce to induce 'bat-pad' chances. Quality batsmen enjoy pace and bounce in a wicket as it allows them to play through the line with a bit of freedom.

Why one side of cricket ball is rough and other is smooth?

One side of a cricket ball is kept rough while the other is smooth to aid bowlers in manipulating the ball's movement in the air and off the pitch. The rough side creates uneven airflow, allowing bowlers to achieve swing, while the smooth side reduces drag, enhancing the ball's stability. This asymmetry helps bowlers deceive batsmen with variations in trajectory and bounce. Maintaining this condition is crucial for effective bowling strategies throughout a match.


What is a 'flat wicket' in Cricket?
