Oh c’mon!! … a delayed start due to a damp pitch??!

If they did this in England, cricket would never be played there at all!!

So what if the ball seams a bit early on… so what if the ball doesn’t come on to the bat all that much in the first few overs… so what if the spectators don’t get to see a slam-bang start to the first innings?!!

If they can play on a pitch that takes a sharp turn only in the second innings, then surely thay can play on a pitch that helps the seamers in the first innings!!

C’mon… Sourav and Inzy!! You are underestimating the batting skills of your openers if you show reluctance to play citing a damp pitch!! So get cracking gentlemen… stop being such sissies!!
