On that wicket we would be lucky to take twenty wickets before Christmas,

Why are we so afraid of their bowlers that we request a slow pitch?
The test wicket prepared at Lords for the New Zealand this year was a belter, had something for Batters, Bowlers & Fielders which created probably one of the best matches that I have ever seen in a long time!

        Yep, was saying that earlier, we're kind of out to play for a draw. (n/m) (General Chat) - DrDublin, Jul 16, 20:23:24
        
        Well we're not, but preparing that wicket is kind of negative. (n/m) (General Chat) - DrDublin, Jul 16, 20:24:39
