When matches are played on wickets that offer a lot to the bowlers, then along with low individual scores, we also smaller totals for the team, overall. The lack of runs from the batting team results in reduced Test matches, as we saw in the home series aginst South Africa last year, when the highest score amomg both teams in the first three Tests was 215 and barring the final Test at the Kotla, the ones in Mohali and Nagpur finished with two days to spare.
It is imperative then that while bowlers don’t completely go out of the game, they don’t totally dominate proceedings either in order to ensure a good game of Test cricket is provided to the fans.
