Ian Botham said:The pitch showing cracks on Day 2 shows that it is below par. In such an important series you would think that the groundsmen would be working to make sure that the pitch is in tip top condition. This appears however not to be the case. It does not result in good cricket, it just means that the batsmen have a very poor chance of making a score, and showing the true skills of Test Match batting.
Head Groundsman said:It has been very difficult conditions recently. We have had some baking hot days which has dried the pitch up so that cracking has occured. We have tried as much as we can to make it as good as possible but it has been difficult. I would like to see Botham do our job any better. Also with a massive weather front coming in with a possibility of a monsson rocking the area there is a chance this match could be rained off very soon.
