"It's actually not the wicket area that's the issue," Postecoglou said.
"They've had some issues with the surrounding areas and put some turf in to replace the issues they've had.
"We face some pretty major obstacles when we're away from home so I'd like to think that when we're at home we get the conditions that suit us.
"So if the pitch isn't up to scratch it tends to be disappointing but it won't stop us."

Postecoglou says Adelaide Oval surface 'not up to scratch'
I guess the next question is, Is it good enough for A-League finals?
Ernie Merrick: Of course I am happy when my team scores a goal, it's just that sometimes I forget to tell my face. (On why Ernie doesn't smile on the sideline.)

Doctoring pitches is not the Australian way
There's a buzz in the stadium
Re: Postecoglou says Adelaide Oval surface 'not up to scratc
Absolutely disgraceful pitch surface.
First game in the town in 5 years and that is served up.
It'll be a long time before Adelaide is considered again.

I agree with that , watching on TV it looked disgraceful, worst ive ever seen the surface at Adelaide Oval look.
Strangely though my son who went to the game said it didn't look too bad at all.

He must have had the same Geography teacher as me.
