WACA is no longer a fast bowler' paradise on the contrary its kind of become a batsmen' paradise where the pace and bounce of the wicket remains true through the 5 days and there is hardly any seam movement or swing for the bowlers, so all this talk before every Perth test that Aussies should go in with 4 quicks should die for good, and rather than all this thinking about reviving the old nature of the WACA pitch (which they have obviously been incapable of doing so far) they should try to prepare a wicket that would atleast be sporting enough and would give both batsmen and bowlers an equal chance.What Australia wouldn't want is the WACA to develop a reputation where overseas teams can come and win. India did it last year and South Africa should do it here. Two consecutive losses for Australia at the WACA. No longer is it a place where Australia dominate.
Nah this is bull****. There was 18 wickets in the first two days, remember?they should try to prepare a wicket that would atleast be sporting enough and would give both batsmen and bowlers an equal chance.
flat pitches is no excuse for pathetic bowling,no matter if you play on cement a goodBrilliant knock from AB, he has been awesome through the game, flat pitch or not he has been instrumental in this Saffie fightback and the way he has taken the attack to the Aussie bowlers has been remarkable.
