Murdoch.......I agree 100% with...

Looks like a good old fashioned whupping then..

Dear oh dear..

playing on bouncy pitches is drllied into aussies from a very early age of playing cricket. here in England, i remember playing on those artificials that tries to replicate the real pitch. in australia, i'm informed that at the low levels of the game, they just play on concrete...

Jezzer.....to a degree you are correct re; Aussie wickets.

When as a child they do play on a concrete slab for a wicket for most parts because of the lack of water and vandelism to a grass wicket.

When good players come through the ranks and make grade cricket they played on grass prepared wickets, with some being as rough as concrete.
Each suburb/district has got 2-3 beautifully prepared grass wickets for the elite games/players.....the likes of players just below state level.
