Ha. As if people prepare bowling wickets for t20s. The last ground that did that, , BCL academy, was roundly criticized for preparing a bowler’s wicket for the Wt20 semis. Come on chief, let’s be real. A test wanderers pitch and a t20 wanderers pitch clearly are not the same. the last wanderers pitch where india and SA played a test, nobody got above 250. South africa got 561 in that wanderers test in 2003....and then you look at the WI bowling attack, exclusive of fidel edwards who was injured early in the SA innings: colleymore, drakes, ganga, sarwan, wavell hinds and merv dillon. Take lara's 202 out of the WI total and the west indies only make 208. clearly it WAS NOT a batting wicket. one of the bowling attacks was rubbish and one man from the opposition mastered the conditions. The attack for WI for that series was so poor, they only once conceded less than 300 and that was because SA were setting a target and they declared at 264-4. twice they conceded more than 500 and twice they conceded more than 600.
