@bhogleharsha Why does teams want to chase on these batting wickets ? Batting first and trying to score above 320 is safer option, right ?
Is it just because teams are not aware of par totals on these pitches ? Or just due to T20 influence ?
Getting unwanted calls from banks regarding loans etc itself is not convenient..
And then now they started making calls to get feedback on such unwanted calls is nuisance.
