I can't imagine there'll be many pitches as bad as that, but there'll be lots of bull**** slow and low pitches which essentially negate all quality. These are anti-cricket pitches. Medium pacers, dart bowlers etc. will prosper whilst fast bowlers are merrily pulled on the front foot. Proper quality batsmen will struggle to time the ball and pick gaps, whilst you need brute force to flog the ball to the boundary.
