Dead pitches aren’t just Indian pitches, the Oval, Sydney MCG by final day were all dead pitches. express bowling, Cricwala and Rightarmfast 1 2 Link to comment

A pitch where both teams are scoring 400+ in first innings is definition of dead pitch. The other two were dead pitches too. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment

You rarely find "truly" in Oz, they're dime a dozen in Asia though especially UAE, India & some of the worst ever in Pak. Oz pitches always have bounce, usually pace & some amount of lateral movement. If that pitch was dead then what would you call Ranchi in 2017? Link to comment

That’s pretty much the definition of a dead pitch, sorry. Aussie pitches of the last 20 years are the most batting friendly pitches on average, which is borne out by extensive stats. Link to comment
R!TTER Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I wouldn't call them dead, batter friendly for sure but as I said IMO dead isn't the same as easy to bat on. Even on those dead pitches of course we've seen McG, Lee, MJ, Starc & lastly Cummins lay waste to many batting lineups. I don't remember the same happening to home teams in India or other Asian pitches in recent years. Link to comment
