the pitch for the 2nd test I felt was playable on, if you applied yourself which the Indian team did, you could score runs and stay in, it wasnt easy but test cricket isnt meant to be easy, it wasnt this bamboozling pitch of spin friendly ball turning at 90 degrees that the England team seemed to get into their heads it was.
this pitch well Ive not seen a pitch with footholes develop after 10 overs on day 1, and by the evening session of the 1st day, having to use a tamper to try and compact the craters that had developed so you could actually bowl and not risk breaking an ankle in one. it did seem to deterioate quite quickly.
that said certainly 1st innings alot of the dismissals were playing for spin and missing the ball kept going straight on.
have to see how the next test here goes |
