Considering the comments on the pitch folks may have more fun in the party stand than watching the cricket.

International cricket's debut in America is remembered for the tacky lifeless surface that sucked all juice out of the two Twenty20 Internationals between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in May 2010. The pitch helped neither the batsmen nor the bowlers. "It was a dull and lifeless track which sucked the pace and bounce from the deliveries and made shot-making almost impossible," said ESPNcricinfo's report. "The ball stopped on the batmen, kept low, and was immensely hard to time. And it certainly wasn't the perfect advertisement for cricket in a foreign land."

[DMan]

Isn't that pitch report sort of contradictory? First they said the pitch doesn't assist the batsmen nor the bowlers, then they say the ball stopped on batsmen, kept low, and was immensely hard to time. So the pitch should be good for the bowlers then?
