"Such a shame that Test cricket is subjected to pitches like this" : Tom Moody

[Saj]

But nor is it bowler just bowling line length to contain, and the batsman simply dead batting it.

There is a need for attritional cricket in every test. But that should last for a phase in the match. If attritional cricket is the only cricket available in test, it will get boring.

Some people want to see a great battle between good spinners and batsmen who play spin well.

As I said before, one man's poor pitch is another man's interesting one.

Yes that's right, Australia will bat for 2 days. Or did you mean 2 or so sessions.

4 sessions batted and match drawn

Think the pitches are just a touch too lifeless. Have to say Indian pitches are better as they have more bounce and are better overall. This way our batting and bowling will continue to regress. I agree with whoever says that it was fine in the Misbah era. Now we need to move on.

Poster meant in the first innings (but nice try).

While Australian wickets may not offer anything to spinners, they do have pace and bounce.

Not really. Modern Australian pitches offer little to any type of bowler and it is why so many tests have had runs piled on top of runs. Yes there may be more pace than the UAE, India or SL but that is not to say there is definite "pace and bounce". Far from it. Maybe you are too young to remember their pitches in the 70s or 80s.
