The Australians, rocognising
One of the most important things in'a Test or any cricket match is the state of the wicket. It often determines whether a match is won or lost or ends in a tedious draw. That being so, a body that is deemed to control a Test match should control the state of the wicket. But it doesn't.

In those matches, 90 wickets rell, 13 to pace, 77 to spin. And this when speed men of the Lindwall-Miller-Trueman calibre were performing.
