Manchester Pitch: The fourth Test match between India and England will be played in Manchester. How will the pitch of this match be a big question. On Monday, Manchester’s pitch was seen for the first time, which looked very green, but the most important thing of this pitch is that it is something else to see and when you play on it, it happens something else on it. We are not saying this, but this is to say of former England fast bowler Steve Hormison who has taken a total of 957 wickets in first class cricket. Let us tell you what Steve Hormison said?
How is Manchester Pitch?
On Manchester pitch, Steve Hormison said that earlier this pitch used to be very fast but now its style has changed. According to Steve Hormison, this is the pitch on which two spinners can be fed because the pitch breaks along with it as the game progresses in Manchester. Hormison said that it would be right to give Kuldeep Yadav a chance in Manchester, two spinners can be fed here. However, Harmison said that it would be a big headache to whom Team India would drop to feed Kuldeep Yadav.
