I like pitches that become receptive to spin over the course of a game
i hate roads
I don't like paying members/punters being cheated, thanks to pitches that are taking spin mid morning on day one, any more than I like seeing other matches where 20+ wickets fall on day 1. Some of these Taunton pitches have barely made it into day 3
seems to me they are compensating for the flat nature of their pitch, a pitch which is likely to be responsible for their never having won the CC. Justin Langer thought that green tops would do it, but that was largely unsuccessful, because conditions like that suit many other teams too. Now they are trying to win the CC by playing on used or worn pitches... last year it nearly worked, so they tried it again this year.
My hope is that because this strategy nearly got them relegated this year, they might stop being so blooming stupid next year
