The Cricket Thread

[Lord Tyrion]

The only thing I can think of is to humiliate England even more

They don't need to trick up the pitch to do that in this series. This pitch makes it a lottery, it gives England a punchers chance.

It's a pitch to kill test cricket

 

[Piece]

Green pitch or not, doesn't excuse batters who can't move their feet. This is Test Match cricket not T20. That first ball approach from Brook summed it up really.

Bethell. Never a truer a case that if the face fits. Certainly not based on form!

 

[D-S]

Not sure if broadcasters, sponsors, cricket grounds’ vendors etc. will appreciate such short test matches especially when they are one sided. It won’t help get more money into the Test game when they are facing such competition from the shorter forms.

They wanted a one or two day humilation in front of the biggest crowd, simple as that.
