Oh.......... crikey!
even worse than I feared
and at the risk of upsetting anyone our first innings scores deteriorated immediately after we employed a new groundsman..... and historically they were never great, I know that..... and our entire top order was ripped away from us, I know that too........ but really!
I can still remember talking to Southwood and the Capt at the ground, where we wondered if the enormous first innings scores were as a result of pitch preparation in the absence of the heavy roller.... this was when we were conceding 300 run partnerships on day one of matches at the riverside. Something fundamentally has changed about the pitch or the way it is prepared and it started before the mercenaries jumped
I hope it ssipes it down in CLS for the next 3 days
