Global warming has reduced the amount of rain, hence there are more results.

Your turn.

Increased amounts of carbohydrates in players' diets has seen flatulence increase on the ground, hence why silly point and short leg are further away from the batsman than what they used to be.

Test wickets are flatter because the rollers are bigger.
More Tests are played to take the emphasis off exams.

It's the female hormones in the meat & the water: with a few exceptions our milksop bowlers can't muster up a Lilleesque Zapata/chops combo nowadays.

Ingestion of tartrazine at an early age has also given us a generation of hyperactive batsmen who don't have the patience to construct innings anymore and tee-off from the word go.

(Just in case anyone wondered - this post was sarcastic)
