Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

Madugalle has slammed the Perth Wicket.  Must have been upset because it didn't turn square before lunch on day one.

Obviously wasn't in Sri  Lanka when they broomed the pitch,  or Pune when the pitched that was brewed up was a disgrace.

I don't get it ProfE, some of these duds must want a return to the old ways, matches going 6 or 7 days before being abandoned without a result, or matches over halfway through day 3.

Our younger posters won't know this. But these modern spuds have got it too easy, go back to the days when pitches were not covered and it rained too heavy they'd get the hessian mats out. Some of these modern spuds would retire from the sport rather than facing up under those conditions!

Back in Perth there was a bouncer that took off, I think from Hazelwood, that bounced just a couple of metres short of being 6 byes. Back in the old days on matting there were bowlers that could do that on demand! These flakes would faint if that had to face that, and it was back in the years before helmets!
