Anyone looking for a new gardener? There's a bloke from Melbourne looking for a new job.

Commentary yesterday said groundsman now called something like turf consultant

Lol. I know. Missed our entire 1st innings it was so quick

25 wickets in under 4 sessions, both teams pathetic.

Well all the talk from those who know best is that this is on those who prepared the pitch rather than the batsmen. Both Broad and McGrath have been scathing of the pitch, saying it was way too bowler-friendly. For 2 ex-bowlers to say that is telling. Neser said that the batters have basically had little choice but to go after the ball because even if you’re playing well defensively, you’re going to get done eventually on this pitch.

Unlike the 2 day Perth test where it was actually a decent batting track, the fallout from this could be huge with world record refunds being dished out.
