Sometimes it is better if veterans stick to money making instead of speaking stupid stuff. 3 day test matches are not new, it happened in every decade. Apart from the players losing patience, give a thought for the pitch which resembled a road on which a garbage van passed through.

nonsense. Did you even see the match? The pitch was fine. It was not even turning alarmingly, just assisting spin. Batsmen played as if they needed to finish the match in the next 5 overs. No patience, no application. Just psyched out.

Wow, "assisting spin" right from Day 1 with no turn? Did you see Ind v SA or Chota Bheem?

Do you even know what you are talking about? At the most 1 or 2 matches in a 5 match series used to have results back then. Go look at the score cards of any series from 1960-90. Batsmen used to be able to bat for a long time, and only occasionally there would be collapses. Nowadays every match there is a collapse and result. No patience or temperament.

Did happen but as exceptions. Now happening more as a rule. Agree?
