Bang on, as, for the vast majority of the game it was a contest between bat and ball. 4 x innings of 350 or lower produce the best test matches, every damn time.That’s why I don’t understand why countries don’t produce wickets to suit their attack.
If you are touring you need to expect to play on wickets you aren’t used to but in recent years all we’ve seen is these flat tracks (thank the ICC for that) as they favour high scores.
It doesn’t encourage kids to bowl at pace in some countries now, look at the Windies as a prime example.
Cricket needs wickets that are bowler friendly but that also give batsmen a fair chance otherwise what’s the point.
I’d much rather watch that test than the first!
