How Will the Melbourne Cricket Ground Pitch Behave?

The MCG pitch is known to offer a good balance for both batters and bowlers. Speedsters bowling with the new ball can expect some bounce and movement whereas batters might find scoring easier once the ball gets a little older. The big boundaries at MCG also mean running between the wickets will be key to putting up a strong score. Whoever wins the toss may just go with fielding first, as the pitch usually gets better for batting later on.
