I didn't think the pitch was bad at all, mind. Perhaps a bit of variable bounce but nothing untoward.Originally posted by redgunamo View Post

Agree on the pitch. Fair bit of bounce and that seemed to trouble everyone. But otherwise it looked ok.Originally posted by Rich View Post

It's a rarity to see a pitch that offers something for both bat & ball. So often we see lifeless strips rolled out to take games to day 5.Originally posted by Peter View Post
I find it quite exhilarating watching top bowlers on a decent pitch. Ball fizzing past the outside edge. A batter should always have to work hard for their runs.Comment
