I would have to admit that I thought that the players are professionals.

On that basis, it shouldn't matter what the pitch is like, they should be able to play it appropriately! Further, in my view, if the wicket favoured the batsmen and 100s of runs were scored, they would be crowing about how great a knock each batsman had. If you want to watch Big Bash, attend Big Bash.

20 wickets on day one, for me was a brilliant days cricket, and something rare, having not happened since 1901 at the G, and I think they said 1957 anywhere else.

Being present when it happened was icing on the cake.
