They could try something crazy, like.....getting a test standard team.
...just sayin'
If batsman are getting hit in the ribs off a good length in the first hour of play it’s an issue.
Halfway through the 4th day is a different story.
Not really, but it shouldn’t be a surprise.
The horizontal cracks are the problem, and were the problem also at the WACA.
Realistically, the grounds men have done a pretty good job with this deck given the conditions.
Could you imagine what weather like this would serve up on an Indian deck?

Genuine question:
Do good fast bowlers have long arms relative to their height?
Seems like long arms are an advantage. Jaspit Bumrah for example.

I actually think the crowds have been pretty good considering. 40 degree days are pretty gross to be in, would have put a lot of people off. I considered not going on Friday because of the weather, but went along anyway.
Then when you consider Thursday was a work/school night, Friday and Saturday nights this time of year lots of people are busy with Christmas parties etc, plus the Wildcats and Glory had home games yesterday. The turn out isn't actually too bad.
Doesn't look great on TV in a big stadium with everyone hiding up in the shade, but if this was at the WACA it would look like a near sellout with those crowd numbers.

People also forget it was Siddle who was hitting batsman.
Cummins and Starc are a different proposition.

Interesting one. I've never thought about it, but it makes sense. Not necessarily "for their height", but long arms could be an advantage in generating pace. If the shoulder is working at the same pace, the hand on a longer arm will be coming through quicker.
And imagine how that would’ve gone for us if we’d lost the toss.
As an aside, that’s as well as I’ve seen SOK bowl. Lyon was just turning it too much in their first dig.
Wade will be filthy, but perhaps Paine is saving him to bowl under lights....

I quite like Paine calling Travis ‘Meheady Hasan’
The kiwis lack one opening batter, a spinner, and anyone who can bowl over 140 clicks.
Apart from that they look ok.

Physics 101.
The longer the lever etc etc.
Same deal re tall footy players and kicking distance generally.

A bigger deal out west.
It was unfortunate the one person they selected who could bowl over 140 clicks got injured on the first day.
