@WealeyH I faced exactly the same thing you mentioned yesterday. First Class debut as a bowling all-rounder, in a green pitch (Kerala VS Odisha). Batted first, the seamers were continuously bowling on the 6th stump line and swinging the ball away or in to me. That felt really good. Score around 320 runs and Started bowling.
The ball was turning like crazy in a green pitch. See the image for reference.
And then I was been tonked for 6 an over for the entire innings but I picked up 7 wickets as an off spinner on a green pitch. Maybe Odisha is a bad battign side but it was truly surprising to see ball turning so much. The plus side was I got 7 varieties of wickets and only one of them was bat pad.
#1 35:11 batsman trying to work it on the leg side, caught by short leg.
#2 37:37 batsman trying to work it on the leg side, LBW
#3 39:55 Batsman slogging to leg side, caught by deep backward square leg.
#4 40:35: batsman trying to play to cover, inside edge, caught by Keeper.
#5 46:45 batsman trying to play a straight drive, caught and bowled
#6 53:40 Batsman playing a cover drive, caught in covers.
#7 102:13 Lower order batsman was strining a good partnership with the middle order set batsman. Drifted one wide outside off stump, he played between covers and point and was caught by 3rd slip.
The Video is quite long, that's why I've mentioned the timings for each of wickets. Overall it was satisfying to see all mode of wicket dismissals but the ball turning so much on a green pitch was a bummer.
