As a cricketer I hate it when anyone does that. Doesn't happen much and most grounds produce the best surface they can. Occasionally you get white ball matches played on used pitches to suit a one dimensional home attack. Feels like cheating to me and deprives the crowd of better cricket...

We would have had 100% more chance playing them at some sort of folk football on a rutted field. Dunk and Duffy would have been well up for that. If we'd ploughed the pitch before kick off would that have made it less good for playing football on, or not?

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Yes that must be it...

The pitch was deliberately made less good for playing football on by not watering it as usual before kick off. I wonder what rules there are governing pitch condition. Everyone seems to be doing the dry pitch thing against City and Liverpool. Maybe next we'll see someone try extra long grass...

Disappointed that we stooped to not watering the pitch. Obviously is the right move against them but feels a bit underhand to deliberately produce a substandard surface for such a game.
