Yeah, I realised that, but I found the fact that someone was mocking this game for not being as good as a typical Sri Lanka vs Pakistan as ridiculous.

Where was someone comparing it to a "typical" Pak vs SL game? Stop constructing arguments that no-one ever makes.

I hear that thread is a lot better than this one, just with 1/100th of the attention/coverage

Looks like the match will start on time as the weather seems ok how long it will last though remains to be seen

The importance of a good and fair/balanced cricket pitch.
Doesn't matter how much hype you give a series, and the history, if the pitch drags down the quality and excitement of the cricket.
I never said that a typical test between SL vs. Pak > Aus vs. Eng, and no one with any sense would read that from my post.

They weren't tho. Jono suggested the last test between them was better than this one, which it may well be (haven't watched a ball, tbh); you then constructed a pretty classic strawman by extending the scope of the original point beyond what Jono intended to include the previous series.
What you say about that being batsman friendly may be true, but it doesn't invalidate Jono's initial contention one iota.
Alles klar?

This is why I love you Smitteh, and why you won BOTM.
The non-cricket related stuff that goes on in here is what keeps it so much more entertaining than the other...I hear that thread is a lot better than this one, just with 1/100th of the attention/coverage
Could be a pretty apt analogy for the two series' tbh...
Edit: Good point by Jono re the quality of pitches too...
