2 Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
Queen’s Park’s oval pitch often stays true to both batsmen and bowlers. The pitch here is what cricketers often refer to as ‘sticky’ as it gives both runners and spinners hope, especially as the game progresses. But batsmen will have their moments especially if a team gets off to a good start as they can overcome that natural lethargy in the middle.
