Wait are we all playing a bit or are we legitimately saying that deliberately preparing a pitch in such a way that one specific part of it behaves completely differently to the rest of it is an okay and proper thing to do?

We're on a cricket forum, right? We actually like this sport, yes? The sport that involves cricket team vs cricket team, not cricket team vs curator?

lol no it's appalling, but it's easier to laugh at it than deal with the confected outrage of the slighted.

The build-up to this tour has been quite good so far. Lot of anticipation and hype to day one. Ashwin has been releasing quite a few tidbits too on his videos in the Youtube platform.

both teams have to play on the same surface. If one team is better suited to it than the other then so be it. This is literally how cricket has worked for 100s of years and it's naïve to pretend otherwise.

Not exactly. It's obvious they are leaving certain parts of the wicket dry (out side the left handers off stump) to take advantage of the left handed heavy Aust batting line up. Making the whole pitch dry I get it but I have not seen this before

I don't think this is right but couldn't be ****ed to argue about it

The sum of right handers' potential for Australia is better than the left-handers I daresay. Smith plus Labu better than all the other Aussie batsmen.
