Probably no surprises there - we are in Dunedin, not Adelaide.
But University Oval turf manager Mike Davies is happy with the way the wicket has come up for tomorrow's one-day international between the Black Caps and Pakistan while the outfield is looking in good shape.
"As far as the wicket preparation goes, we've hit all our targets all along the way and we're ready for cricket,'' Davies said.
"The high winds have been challenging, though. [Wind] dries things out without getting the value of baking in the sun. Those are the working conditions and we have to deal with it.''
The moisture levels and density measurements are right where they need to be, despite a dry period.
"It has been a lot drier this summer so [the pitches] have been on the drier side than normal.
"What that does is it gives you a consistent surface but maybe a tinge of pace comes out of it as the moisture comes out of it.
"Air replaces where the moisture is and it gets a tad slower. But we've done the best we can.''
The forecast looks promising for the game. Sunny spells and northeasterlies are predicted.
That will please Pakistan. The first two games in the series have been affected by wet weather.
The visiting side's top order has also struggled with the bounce, so the opportunity to play on a potentially slower and lower surface will offer some relief.
