I thought the pitch for the test match was awful and, if it was down to me, I’d be telling Lancashire they have to start producing better pitches if they want to maintain their test match status.
They're pretty arrogant about Old Trafford - but they couldn't organise the crowds at all in the first 2 days - massive queues and people who'd paid a lot for tickets not getting in until 2 hours after the start.

The club said they should have arrived earlier.
