got to be the pitch surely? Both teams strugglin on it if it’s not the pitch then the team batting 2nd usually show you how it should be done and make a decent score 2nd innings will reveal all
Partly the pitch. Partly that they’re all playing hit and rush cricket for Punjab Pirates for $$$$$ and the art of test cricket is being eroded. Bring back the days of openers scoring 73 from 289 balls.
wouldn't be surprised to see fairly big scores from both teams 2nd innings though obviously hope i'm wrong in the convicts case
The pitch is fast and bouncy, but true. As far as the Aussies are concerned, we just bowled very quick and they didn't cope. Not seen much of our innings, but suspect it was the usual gung ho bazball bollocks and we gave a few away, although it sounds like Mitchel Starc was also superb.
