"Look at the team Zimbabwe have picked, they've got six players who can bowl spin," Law said. "With the characteristics of this ground, and two Tests at the same ground, it does favour spin bowling more than medium pace bowling. Having said that, we've got two or three guys who can crank it up to over 90mph and that pace it doesn't really matter where you play, it's hard to bat against."


But captain Holder believes it may allow a new element to come into play. "With the Kookaburra balls, reverse swing is always a factor," he said on Friday (October 20). "They tend to reverse earlier than most and go a bit softer. I would expect some reverse swing in these dry conditions. The square looks pretty decent but you never know what to expect."
