[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 385383, member: 43400"] Seems to be quite a bit of talk on NZ Radio Sport regarding the decision by Sri Lanka to play the semi-final against New Zealand on the same pitch that they played the quarter final against England on ... while I know that it's the norm for the home team to prepare pitches that best suit their team, I have to agree with Radio new Zealand's Cricket commentator, Bryan Waddle, that playing on a used pitch that the home side has had the benefit of batting and bowling on for 50 overs, just two days before, is probably not within the spirit of the game. ... I have gone from a person who is ok with the black Caps performance so far, and has no expectation that they will progress any further, to one who really hopes the Black caps can put Sri Lanka out of the tournament for this poor decision [/QUOTE]
