The Pitch Waaah Thread

It looks like its going to be world cup where teams batting first will get to 350 and batting second will get them easily. Really boring when this happens regularly.

That's what the people doing research on what crowds want though.
Blockbuster scores.

If the pitch is remotely bowler friendly, the curators will receive a strongly worded letter which ultimately lead to their removal.

The ICC ordered the polar opposite for 2019 mind.

Wickets in England in the 3 years prior saw England break a load of records.

The wickets were largely bat/ball contests and many sub 300 scores.

Absolutely, there were quite a few one-sided matches in that last edition.
Yes, wickets in England now are more tuned to their team's strengths. Nothing wrong with that.

This time ICC asked for more grass on the pitch in the guidelines. But I dont know if thats going to help pitches to become bowler friendly because of the kind of wickets in sub continent. The ball might just come on to bat nicely.

Yeah there were some real old school sort of contests in the 2019 WC. Was a good watch overall imo.
