Hell yes. The Aussie pitches in the last WC were a disgrace. Bat first - win the game.
I dont mind the occasional flat pitch in ODI's, but when they come every single game 50's and 100's become meaningless and the game gets really boring.
In tests its even worse. In an ODI its one thing as a game is relatively short and players will go hard at it to score quick, but in tests it just leads to the game meandering out into nowhere as teams pile on runs while at the same time going at a RR like 4.
Tests are dying outside England and Australia, anyone can see that, these massive run fests and pitches like Galle are part of why thats happening. People who want massive runs are already watching IPL and ODI's, not tests
