Also Shane Bond needs to watch what he says because last summer NZC requested dead pitches to nullify the superior English bowlers. Now they want something different when they don't fear the opposition's bowling attack.
A lot of people say something along the lines of "we need wickets in nz that do a little bit on day one then flatten out on day 2/3 and then start to break up end of day four and five". The reality is we don't have the climate to change a pitch that much over five days so it is going to be one or the other.
