Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2644836, member: 8372"] I think there was a bit in it for the bowlers. on Day 1, Day 2 and early on Day 3 there was a bit of bounce and movement. the pitch rewarded bowlers who were smart and discipline (which was none of the Indian pacemen) and likewise rewarded batsmen who had good footwork. the only problem I saw with the pitch was that it didn't fall apart on Day 4 and Day 5, when you'd usually expect cracks and uneven bounce for the fast bowlers and more turn and natural variation for Lyon. And that was (partially) because of the weather. at the end of the day, Melbourne is never the fastest or spiciest pitch in Australia. it usually has less in it for the fast bowlers than the WACA or Gaba but isn't usually as slow as Adelaide or Sydney. I think that is what we saw this time around. it was a decent pitch to start with but it just flattened out after Day 3 and remained a really good batting track [/QUOTE]
