God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

EB educate me, was that collapse the pitch? If so how? I was watching and Green and Handscomb were looking solid. They looked like they were digging in and were selecting the right balls to score off. Then all of a sudden it was like dominos. If I'm correct did India bring on a quick and it all changed?

Umesh came on and got three wickets which were lbw's and bowled where the ball kept low imo, yes the batting has been inept but this wicket has been the worst of the three so far . India have failed again in the 2nd innings with Lyon taking five wickets......India's batting has been cavalier and loose probably because they dont give a feck having secured the trophy but Lyon has been helped by the wicket turning abruptly and so early in the match.
Sharma has called for the 4th test to be a green top so India can practice for the test cricket final????? so they really dont care about results now and are just using us for practice.
Curators should be preparing what is the best wicket they can, not being told by the home team captain what to do to suit his teams upcoming agenda. India do this every home series and create an over whelming advantage and thats my problem with them.
The ICC are manipulated by India being the money machine of world cricket and its ruining the game....test cricket is on the way out thanks to India and no one will take it seriously with pitches and score lines like we are seeing.
Its funny how the IPL wickets are TV postcard perfect flat wickets with just a hint of a green......so its not lack of quality curators, weather or equipment, just pure intent to create a unfair advantage in the test matches.
