This was because of the so-called Bazball approach by England. A result was achieved because too many England batters threw away their wickets by being too aggressive. Australia, led by one man batting in a more traditional approach and solid bowling by two men, took full advantage of England's approach.It produced a result despite losing nearly a day for rain. It would've been over far quicker if all chances had been taken. How is that too flat?
Then how does that explain the fact that if Bairstow could catch, Australia would've been bowled out for 300 (probably less) in the first innings? Khawaja dropped anchor but he was still bowled off a no ball and effectively dropped first over in the 2nd innings. It wasn't like chances weren't created even against the most stoic of defences.This was because of the so-called Bazball approach by England.

Had the pitch been more bowler friendly the game wouldn't have gone into day 5.
As much as I enjoyed the Test, the pitch was sub-par.
And if Australia could catch, England would have been out for a lot less too.Then how does that explain the fact that if Bairstow could catch, Australia would've been bowled out for 300 (probably less) in the first innings?

It was a myth that the pitch was flat.
Precisely, the pitch was not flat. There were plenty of chances created. Yes, England will offer more due to their batting style, but it wasn't like Australia cruised to 500.And if Australia could catch, England would have been out for a lot less too.
england batters threw away their wickets and did not bat at a test match pace. esp 2nd inn |
Pitch was very flat. Robinson and Anderson barely got any movement. Anderson wrote a column saying the pitch was his 'kryptonite'Precisely, the pitch was not flat. There were plenty of chances created. Yes, England will offer more due to their batting style, but it wasn't like Australia cruised to 500.
Yeah but that's because your lot were bowling - you can't blame the pitch for thatA reminder that there has not been a single Test match in England in the last 23 years with less movement on Day 1 than this one.
On a pitch like this where we got a good match and result? Doubtfullol I actually thought he had improved from being a grumpy old hypocritcal **** whinging about everything once Bazball started.
Has there ever been a bowler publically just say that I cant bowl on certain types of pitches?
I mean he is a class bowler for sure and one of the greats and perhaps even an ATG depending on how much you factor longevity, but this was just ****.
Was that a Ryan George video? They're great.So I came across a video titled Pitch Meeting on YouTube and assumed @Spark had now started a YouTube channel.
