Pitch
Pitches play a crucial part in the game of cricket. The turf these days are prepared more in favour of the batsman which gives the bowler hardly any chance to create an impact in the match.
The big reason behind moulding Cricket into a more batsmen oriented game is to entertain the viewer, which breaks down to watch bowlers getting hammered. To put more weight behind this argument, curators happen to follow the instructions and thus prepare more flat decks.
