No, it's not the conditions. In my experience as well, the AI batsmen have become much more belligerent and purposeful after the second patch; and yes, LBWs, bowleds, caught behinds and edges in general have become far less frequent. Earlier I could bundle out sides for 100-odd or less on almost any wicket—so long as I used the right bowlers and tactics for the conditions at hand—and that too with the above-named modes of dismissal dominating. Just to give you an idea, I remember taking out batsmen's off stump with leg spin deliveries pitching outside leg. That's no longer something I can do. Things are slightly different in Tests for me, but you do have to work very hard for wickets even in that format.
