Well their director of cricket bloke (he's well known but I can't remember his name) said

Wanted ut to turn on the first day,my initial reaction was "that's too much,it shouldn't turn on the first day".But then 8f it turned abit and then progressively more I wouldn't have a problem with it.It shouldn't eat square like it did when we were there but I've seen pitches in England where it turns a little late 8n the first day.It's difficult because they get moaned at for producing flat boring wickets so on balance I'd say I'd prefer something in the middle but Don't blame them (too much anyway) for producing turners.
