I do understand why people are going in at the state of the wicket but surely the weather has played a massive part?

 

I mean it could have been an absolute road but with dark clouds, humidity and rain hanging around then surely wickets were likely to tumble at a serious rate?

I prefer games where bowlers are slightly on top but some of the uneven bounce was impossible for anyone to deal with.

 

There was a stat on TMS earlier about the one Bethell got being the lowest bounce of any wicket-taking ball in a Test in England since ball tracking records began.

It's a good competition, but not necessarily a good test match. The pitch isn't ideal to say the least. I also tend towards bowlers, but that ball to Bethell was a big bowl of wrong. The groundsman would have felt like shit after that.

The powers that be when it comes to cricket really don't do themselves any favours sometimes.

Might be a 4th day at this rate thanks to the weather.

This is where cricket on fast forward is a benefit, it would have to chuck it down for 3 days for their not to be a result.

 

Going to my first test match at headingly in August, praying its not a day like this one.
