Aware that this year there have been 3 drawn games at AO. Are you taking into account things like players available, the weather (hot summer = drier pitch + dry air = tough bowling conditions) and drop in pitch? Blaming the pitch for SA woes is a cop out in my opinion. How do explain SA having the lowest drawn game percentage and highest loss percentage?
I have to put this disclaimer in. Not having ago at you personally mal. Just putting forward my opinion that there are more factors than the pitch for SA having limited success for decades.
