However in the second Test we did give their fast bowlers a hard straight pitch and they thrashed us by over 400 runs.When we go over there next they will give us rock hard non-turning pitches and we will lose 5-0 again.
Guess that should have gone on the "Cricket" thread.
If what you say is true then it defies belief that they can't afford to water a bit of grass back home to train on which replicates English pitches and vice versa the England team to dry out a pitch.....

Like the game I was All England Champion at, a good player could play on all surfaces with learnt skill. Now surfaces have been made all the same and perfect, so average players are made to all look good.
