Is there a list of test-matches that have ended in two days or less. Would be interesting...

Anyway I think pitches like this are acceptable for one test in a series but not two in a row and I am guessing the next match is not going to be too different either
Yeah was posted maybe half a dozen pages or so back

England shouldn’t give up hope here. This is a side which was rolled for 36 only a couple of months ago.

Wouldn't mind points getting decked if that's the case. Wait ten days for a Test during pandemic only for it to get over inside six sessions. Bullshit.

Should play another match starting tomorrow given the ground is booked and everyone's bought tickets and wants to watch a game
Same pitch will make sure it's over in time too.

Would be interesting to see what the lineups would be given they'd be aware of it in advance.

Probably been discussed on previous pages, but is the pitch really that bad?

From the admittedly small passages I've seen there's not much variable bounce; it just looks like a standard turner to me. Without variable bounce, they should be handling it better than this.

Holy **** what shot was Crawley playing? Just saw the replay. Like it barely turned and he missed it by a foot

There's variable bounce for sure but the main thing is that there's absolutely no consistency at all in what balls will do. Some will spin and bounce miles, some will do nothing at all. Makes it close to impossible to play.

The batting has been pits though.
