Why is it that except England match every other pitches in this World Cup has certain amount of grass covering? This question was asked to me on Quora which is a social media app for asking questions and getting answers Read the answer below #NojotoQuote It's true that pitches in WC is decided by ICC not ECB but everyone knows that ICC is controlled by MCC (Lords :D) Biggest example of that are Warm Up matches played by India. England knows that their arrogant stroke play didn't work with us. Look at the stats of last three years between England and India in ODIs, their win ratio against us is only 50% which means we gave back whatever they threw at us. They know this very well
