is the slope of the pitch a real thing ?
and what are we talking when we say slope
It's noticeable when there's a wide shot from the Pavilion end on TV and it's very noticeable in person when I did the tour there in 2019. The slope runs from North West to South East with a drop of 2.5 metres from one side of the ground to the other.
Great start for England, Anderson and Broad on the money straight away and Potts couldn't of ask for a better start to his career getting Williamson as his first test wicket.
Interesting that Boult is playing, all the news was that he wouldn't play in the first test.
