this. Remember Lyon is looking more for overspin and extra bounce rather than to rip it sideways.

Yeah think how many have beaten the left handers outside edge and been taken by the keeper at chest height.

In theory it should be fine unless it's hitting the batsmen on the full.

I think those highest chase scores hide higher last innings in draws and losses. Pakistan got 450 batting last here last year.

Yeah a couple of times BT have used it to imply England getting to a lead of 200 puts them in a decent position and I just don't see it.

A lead of 200 is a long way off anyway.

NO WAY this happens if Ben Stokes was in Brisbane.
It's disgraceful that homophobes and bigots are preventing him from representing his country.

It definitely seems more of an older-person thing. My father is obsessed with how batting last is basically impossible to the point where he freaks out at the prospect of 120 chases on even on the deadest of wickets. I've always just figured pitches used to deteriorate more as a completely general rule, as opposed to today's game where it varies a lot from pitch to pitch.
He doesn't see it that way so much when Australia are bowling last though, so there's some real-life Gambhiring at play too.

Far stranger things have happened than a chasing side getting rolled cheaply on a deck like this. Never comfortable when chases really drag on.

A big little word, especially considering they can't seem to get him out atm.

Don’t see the point of ‘Pitchscan’ personally. Apparently the pitch getting progressively drier over the course of a Test. Who would’ve guessed that?

Think it's definitely true in both cases. Only takes having witnessed one or two botched chases from your team to make you hate the idea of chasing anything significantly above 100.
