Pitch Quality vs Bowling Quality

[subshakerz]

Generally speaking, which has had more impact on batting records?

 

[Johan]

realistically, pitches by far.

Would a bat rather face a top attack on a batting friendly wicket or a mid attack on a sporting wicket?

depends on what you mean by sporting. If the wicket is underprepared, wet, matting, extremely dusty or cracking then you'd much rather face the top attack on a flat pitch, as on prior even the average bowlers would've their output amplified to ATG levels.

No not a lottery pitch. More like typical result oriented Eng 80s wicket or Indian 90s wicket.

and what level of bowling attack? one or two ATG pacemen + average/above average bowlers? if that's the case, I think most would still perform better against modern Australia on roads than against 90s India on turners.

Two worldclass pacers yeah.

 

[Thala_0710]

On average, pitches by a big margin

 

[capt_Luffy]

Overall, it has to be pitches pretty comfortably

Would a bat rather face a top attack on a batting friendly wicket or a mid attack on a sporting wicket?

The former. If a batsman can get consistent pace and bounce he'd back his chances even against good bowlers. Whereas even Michael Clarke can be a world beater on a bad wicket.

 

[Coronis]

Pitches.

 

[Kirkut]

Pitch quality maybe.

A peak Hadlee will not necessarily get many wickets on a flat road but will bowl in accurate areas to restrict run flow.

An in form Sreesanth can take 5/40 against strong batting lineups on a South African greentop.

ATG attack on sticky wickets sounds better.

 

[Xix2565]

I mean we have literally seen this in the past 10 years with batting records before 2018 and after 2018.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pitches easily. Why I rate performances/players more on how they do in tough conditions/match situation than on merely who plays for the opposition.

We know who is needed for that job.
