Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2644774, member: 8372"] but was this actually the curators's fault? Usually you want a wicket that seams about at the start and then flattens out into a good batting wicket before starting to fall apart and turn into a landmine on Day 4 and Day 5. the problem was that because Melbourne was so cold this week (when usually its pretty hot over Xmas), the pitch just got stuck in that "good flat batting track" phase. besides, the wicket wasn't so flat that you couldn't get a result. it was still a sporting wicket. If the series was 1-1 or 1-0, I reckon you would have seen a win/loss today but because we could wrap up the series with a draw, Lehmann/Smith were happy to play very conservatively. [/QUOTE]
