it is a road and i don't think it'll change for at least 2 more days.(at least on the SC roads the slowness often makes it hard to score runs quickly).I completely stand by my call that today's pitch was not a road. There were many reasons why Australia produced such an amazing scoring rate over the course of the day.
I'm not going to suggest that the pitch wasn't a good pitch to bat on, but it wasn't a road, we just witnessed a terrific batting display on quite a small field by attack minded batsman against a weakened bowling unit short on confidence.
Even if saffers got bowled out for 300 it'd still prob be a conisdered a road coz it's more than likely that the 300 would be due to scoreboard pressure etc and not due to the pitch...
in contrast, gabba wasn't a raod. there was quite a bit in it for the bowlers
