5 Most dangerous cricket pitches

5. Kingsmead, Durban:

It has seen many batting collapses over the years and whether it come to Tests or ODIs pacers simply rule the roosts here. If we look at decade wise fast bowling averages it might have got somewhat higher but the extra grass left these days more than compensates. It is easily the fastest pitch in South Africa and probably the second fastest in the world after Perth. It is no surprise the top 8 wicket takers on this ground are all pacers. Playing here even South Africa are not privilege to the home advantage as even military medium quicks (like from India) extract plenty and trouble the strong South African batting line up.
