"Pitch report from Ed Rainsford: Cracks all over the surface even before a ball has been bowled. It's very, very dry despite efforts from groundstaff to trap some moisture. Might take a lot of turn."
One pacer is fine for this wicket. Think the decision-makers/selectors made a compromise. More sporting wicket and two pacers in 2nd Test. Good deal. Preserve our current home strength and prepare for the future/away Tests.
