West Indies test pitches
What is going on over there, with the state of the pitches?
Batsmen (yes english ones) scoring hundreds of runs, bowlers toiling in the field lucky to get 6 wickets before a declaration comes, then easily hanging on in the second innings to play out time and it all ends up a draw – very odd!
I’m used to an England mini collapse or a glorious victory against the odds, rescued from the jaws of defeat, is it the wickets? or could it be the bowling attacks of both teams?
The only other explanation I can see is that the bowling lacks bite or flexibility to change from swing to medium or spin, the ability to mix it up, etc.
As pleased as I maybe to see England’s batting order scoring healthily, I’m not convinced that they are doing as well as I’d like on merit.
