Surely its in the interest of the home side to provide a pretty average deck, one that doesnt give too many advantages to the away teams choice. Yet, since it came in, and despite of a hot dry and very long summer, all we are getting is wickets that are doing everything.
I cant understand why teams are doing it

The trouble with the whole thing is the phrase "best pitch possible". What do they mean? Why does no team ever get penalised for preparing a completely flat track. That never gets points deducted yet makes for poor cricket. Many pitches favour the seamer but usually poor batting is blamed. Excessive turners often pick up a deduction. All types of poor pitches need to be treated equally.

So it looks as if there'll be no Durham and Yorkshire championship matches next year and we'll have to deal with Onions and Jennings instead!

so much for Onion's saying that this was the best quality bunch of players he'd ever worked with
