Because, unlike football, test cricket is shrinking rapidly and in order for it to have any sort of meaning nowadays games should be exciting, not processions of 100's and 50's and 200's.

This goes for any team tbh, I HATE test pitches that are flat like this, regardless of where the game is taking place. They should be banned. People who are willing to watch a 5 day game deserve some suspense, thrills and good finishes, not a meaningless draw that we saw coming from miles away
