Older ball has actually been more difficult to play in the last two gamesDo you think the bounce might settle down if you get to the older ball?

A fast rank turner. Awful.Older ball has actually been more difficult to play in the last two games
It's not that much to ask for 3 good players to get 75 runs between them from here on in. It's difficult out there for sure but not impossible.Do you think the bounce might settle down if you get to the older ball?
Na, it's fun watching games on pitches like this. Tests players in different ways. Unfortunately in this case there's been quite a lot of poor cricket on both sidesA fast rank turner. Awful.
Sorry. I meant awful to bat on. I am enjoying watching.Na, it's fun watching games on pitches like this. Tests players in different ways. Unfortunately in this case there's been quite a lot of poor cricket on both sides
ashwin is essentially bowling cutters here - almost entirely sidespin on his deliveries.It's certainly the kind of pitch where accuracy is the most important attribute for a spinner. I mean, that's very important in general, but you don't get any particular advantage here in really trying to rip it, it's about landing it on the spot every ball while being able to bowl some a bit quicker and some slower.
Hey now that's fun too (except when it's Tom Latham playing a waft outside off on 72)yeah I prefer this to watching a back of a length ball on off get nicked to second slip for the 100th time
