Last years test at Trent Bridge was a thriller, one of the closest results in the history of test cricket.
I am not defending the pitch this year, it was awful but as long as there is so much at stake financially this could be the state of things to come. Lords generally prepares a featherbed and escapes any real scrutiny.
I generally prefer cricket when the scores are low, as it is far more interesting but do the host counties or Sky ?
