While it is quoting former top level bowlers, I have to say I agree with the general comments in this Rage Article;
To me that is more of a commentary about the state of test batting than the pitch!
Quote:The mental and technical approach of batsmen who struggled in the two-day Gabba Test have been questioned by former bowling greats Jason Gillespie, Merv Hughes, Geoff Lawson and Daniel Vettori after Australia’s six-wicket win.I think much of the Gabba wicket hysteria is coming from people who think T20 pitches are fair cricket.
Gillespie, now coach of South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers, suggested most batsmen had been mentally defeated by the green colour of the pitch and the quality of the opposing pace attack before they went out to bat.
To me that is more of a commentary about the state of test batting than the pitch!
