If what you say is true then it defies belief that they can't afford to water a bit of grass back home to train on which replicates English pitches and vice versa the England team to dry out a pitch.....
No, nothing to do with luck at all as I posted , down to what the players face every day in league games which cannot be reproduced with a hose pipe. Times have changed and so has cricket with one day matches and big money. Reason we have no real fast bowlers and a glut of spin bowlers. Reason the current crop of good batsmen are not fully top class batsmen.
Like the game I was All England Champion at, a good player could play on all surfaces with learnt skill. Now surfaces have been made all the same and perfect, so average players are made to all look good.
