you have to take into account the modern-day player

1. They play aggressive, white-ball style cricket
2. Many of them have played only limited amounts of first-class cricket and so are, in cricketing terms, very naive.

If you put test sides of the 1970s onto this wicket I believe the scores would be very different.
