I don't think Kleinveldt bowled that bad, he just had no support from the pitch, as was a road.

Tahir was a joke though.

If I was to do a scale it would be like this:


1. Complete lifeless highway
2. Roady McRoad.
3. Road but a bit in it.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Quite Spicey
9. Green top/Bunsen
10. Absolute goat track, going round corners/variable bounce etc.


cbf putting in the middle numbers but you get it.

I'd have this at about 2.

2.4 tops.

I think I've only seen a few of pitches that looked easier for batting than this, and they were all at Antigua. Unless you definition of "road" is limited to pitches at the Antigua Recreation Ground then it doesn't matter how many different categories you have, this looks like a complete and utter road. If it turns later I'll temper my thoughts a bit but I think the extra grass will make it hold together even longer than normal. It's a road buddy. No left turn ftr.

Patent pending on that scale btw.

Would like it to become the official scale which we measure pitches on from now on.

Flat Road
Bouncy Road
Turning Road
Slow Road
Dry Fast Turner
Slow Turner
Bouncy Seamer
Seamer
Uneven

There is probably more but I can't think of any more right now.

This pitch on Day 1 was a Flat Road. It may turn into a slow road or uneven later and there might be result, but Day 1 was Flat Road.

See for me if there is a bit in it, its not a road so I wouldn't patent your scale exactly (although 1,2,8,9,10 are all good).

In most CW discussions though:

1. Complete lifeless highway
2. Absolute goat track, going round corners/variable bounce etc.
