IND vs SA: Former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn was seen very angry with the end of the India vs South Africa second Test in two days. He stated that matches that end within two days are not Test matches. Let me tell you, this Test match played in Cape Town is the shortest Test match in the history of Test cricket in terms of balls. The match ended in just 107 overs. India won the match by 7 wickets while flaunting the tricolor for the first time at Cape Town and tied the series 1-1.
After the second Test ended in two days, the discussion about the pitch was going on everywhere, Indian captain Rohit Sharma also expressed his opinion on this issue. However, on ‘X’, Talent Scout for Pretoria Capitals Werner appeared to defend the pitch curator. Dale Steyn has vented his anger in this post.
“I extend my condolences to Braam Mong (pitch curator). This is the first international pitch prepared by him at Newlands. The conditions were tough, so he decided to leave extra grass to ensure that the cracks on the pitch did not open quickly. It weighed heavily on him, hoping he would get a chance to save himself. ‘
Responding to Werner’s post, Dale Steyn wrote, “Why are we so afraid of cracks? Think Sydney, Perth. The cracks there are so wide that you can park the car inside them, and yet they always reach in days 4 and 5. It is pointless to have a Test match finish so quickly that you don’t see any signs of cracks. The pitches keep deteriorating every day, let it happen. A two-day Test is not a Test match.’
