mishra Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 It's similar to the last doctored pitch, variable bounce on day 1 lol. This game is over. Nah there are atleast over 1200 runs on this pitch. Cardiff one was designed for 1000 runs
gattaca Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I stand corrected. England do doctor the pitches according to opposition. They used green mamba against India in 2014. The dates of our test match were Jul 17-21 2014. The current match is also around same dates. I don't remember the weather exactly I remember it was sunny for most part of it expect during rahane century which was the first innings. Looks like after lords test they changed their strategy to use flat wickets and moen to spin us out and may be did same to Australia in first test.

Offcourse they do have you nto seen the dry wickets they always prepared for last ashes.
gattaca Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Offcourse they do have you nto seen the dry wickets they always prepared for last ashes. But still gotta give it to them. They have spinners, swing bowlers and can effectively use reverse swing. So they can win on any kind of surface. They have all their bases covered. Even if we play them in India moen will spin us out and Anderson will use his reverse. Only aberration was in Australia last ashes Johnson scared them away.
