No, the Kookaburra was only used for the first two rounds of games and I hope that’s the last we see of it - the ECB’s marketing men seem determined to kill off the county championship and using that ball all of the time would be a big step in that direction,Originally Posted by Madassa
Another question is if you can get a pitch like that at Sophia Gardens, why have so many in recent years been so bland as to make any result other than a draw impossible? Gorvin’s first ball yesterday bounced much more than it should have done to dismiss Pujara and I wonder if they’re still mindful of that one day game with Hampshire a few years ago that was abandoned because of an unfit pitch?
A really good win though against a team that had made a great start to the season, still not sure about the bowling attack we went into the game with mind - have Dowthwaite and McIlroy been dropped?
