In cricket, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the importance of geography when it comes to playing conditions. English conditions, for instance, are renowned for being conducive to swing bowling, while Australian pitches contain a lot of clay, which provides extra bounce for fast bowlers. As a result, the home side is usually seen as having an advantage over their opponents because of the familiarity they have with their respective home conditions.
