I wish we could hear more of Ben Stokes' bitching about footholes and the pitch. Far more entertaining than Swann and the other clowns.
What a fantastic start to the day. impressive bowling so far. Gives us a chance if we can manage to cope with their spin.
India are collapsing. Roots current figures are 3-3-0-3. The pitch is simply not good enough for test cricket though. This could almost be over in 2 days
Is there a mechanism whereby a pitch can be reported as unsuitable for Test cricket in the way county pitches can be?
Good point. I don't think so. But now there is a sort of league structure (not that anyne cares) it would make some sense. It's frequently suggested that groundsmen/curators prepare pitches to suit the home side.
