Annoyed at standard of test pitches..

The lack of any bounce in test wickets is starting to get on my nerves.. That am losing interest in test cricket..
The bowlers have to work miracles to get teams out teams out twice.. Take the current two tests going on in Wellington and Mohali. There is zero happening..I wouldnt be suprised if NZ end up drawing the game.
These tests are coming on the back of the test in Dunedin that wicket was shockingly poor..and 5 days play in Galle.. where Bangladesh got 600+..
If this continues test cricket will die a death.. and that would be sad.

a fast bowler gets a five for in the same pitch that was critisized by some of us just a day ago. Surely the pitch doesnt change in a span of a day.

This pitch has something for all types of bowlers, fast, spinners and batsmen - you just have to bowl well not like the dollies smith and lyon were bowling.
if india pick 2-4 wickets today then no one can stop them from winning

If Australia could bat then they should save the game.. But when Cowan is given out LBW when he clearly hit the ball .the aussies have less chance of saving a game.

Like when Michael Clarke has a massive inside edge and caught but doesn't get given out and then goes on to make a big tonne...don't remember you jumping to India's aid then to two faced moron

You gotta be kidding Mr. who else.. How come u didn't notice about pujara's wicket which was wrongfully given out by Aleem Dar. Also what about pitches now since so many wickets going down to pacers in this match and even with rain on first day, there is still chance 4a result. I am pretty sure you will come with your some other nonsense and shows your hatred towards India. If you don't change your nasty attitude then folks would not like to comment anymore on your articles and may be they may reach a point not to discuss any logic or fun topics on cricket with you. Please go get a life instead of your evil and crap comments and also get some help dude cos you really need it..

Now very soon we gonna have a result too inspite of rain. Now Mr. else is still gonna blame the placid pitch huh!

Australia can't bat thats the problem.. having scored well over 400 in their first innings to be only leading by an 100 on seconding innings shows how poor they are..

Well the Leeds pitch had better not be as flat as it is now. for the test match later on in May.. I will be annoyed if it is..

Why? Flat pitches work entirely in England's favour. Australian batsmen simply don't have it in them, aside from Cowan, Clarke and possibly Rogers, to bat for long periods of time. The rest will trip over themselves edging length balls that they should be leaving and Australia will be all out for 350. Then bring out Cook, Trott, KP and the rest and just outbat Australia. That's the only way I can see a 5-0 happening, by completely neutralising the Australian bowlers.

You any idea what the English climate is like? you don't normally get 5 full days of cricket.. What you don't need is flat wickets.. You need some seam movement.. Swing is fine. But batsmen can negate that by playing late.. seam movement is what helps bowlers.. The leeds pitch currently is ridiculas. Am losing interes in 500 vs 550.
