Eng pitches vex Marsh

Zimbabwe's Australian coach Geoff Marsh hit out at the state of English pitches on Wednesday claiming that they are a poor breeding ground for genuine top class bowlers.
"A lot of the wickets we've played on here this summer have given too much assistance to the faster bowlers," said Marsh after a tour in which his side lost both Tests against England and failed to reach the final of the three-nation one-day series.
"I'm not saying this as an excuse for our batting performances with our inexperience we would probably have struggled on better wickets.
"But playing on pitches offering generous seam and bounce can give a false impression of a bowler's abilities," said Marsh, the former Aussie batsman, coach and national selector.
Marsh said he felt England had a good pace attack, but the public
should not get too excited about their performances, where they routed Zimbabwe by an innings in both Test matches.
"Don't get me wrong, England have a good pace attack with (Darren) Gough, (James) Anderson, (Richard) Johnson, (Steve) Harmison and (Matthew) Hoggard," he added.
"The danger is that they don't develop into complete bowlers who are capable of winning Test matches on flat Asian, Australian, South African and West Indian wickets.
"Gough is an exception to that because he's proved himself overseas, but he may not play much Test cricket in future. It's young bowlers like Anderson, Harmison and Hoggard who will need to learn subtle variations and master different deliveries to take wickets when the ball doesn't swing and seam".
Marsh pointed to the wickets at Lord's for the first Test and Headingley, Cardiff and Bristol in the NatWest triangular series, as examples of bowler friendly conditions.
"It's not just international matches that are affected. We
played at Worcester at the start of the tour where the ball moved off the seam throughout the match.
"Kabir Ali took five wickets in our second innings but in terms of developing his skills he would have been better off bowling on the tracks we played on at Hove or Shenley, where every wicket had to be earned.
"Look at the example of a bowler like (Zimbabwe captain) Heath Streak. He's revelled in the conditions over here because he's a classic English-style swing bowler.
"But he's also learned how to adapt his game to be effective in Zimbabwe and around the world on less responsive surfaces."
Zimbabwe face South Africa in their last match of their tour here on Thursday but they have no chance of making the final which takes place at Lord's on Saturday between England and the South Africans.
South Africa stay back in England for a five-match Test series.
Zimbabwe next meet West Indies at home in a two Test, five one-day internationals in October.
