Both England and South Australia did EXACTLY the same thing.

Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring
How could they have? Did they exactly have the same groundsmen? Did they have exactly the same orders? Did they have exactly the same reasons for preparing pitch in a certain way? Did they exactly have same circumstances? Of course not, so rubbish talk.

No
Yes

No but very similar
Both teams produced a wicket in order to ensure a win/loss result.

Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring
Maybe you need to look up the OED again and see what "exactly" means. Then revisit the main points of the topic. I'll give you a C- for persistence so far, but you need much improvement when it comes to content and researching facts in these instances. More homework required and perhaps less distraction of others.

Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring
Then you might twig that each situation has its own considerations and differences, subtle or otherwise. Otherwise why have courts for example? Is each assault charge worthy of same consideration, or is it best we hear all the whys, the hows, the testimonies of those that were there? In fact it would be rare to have two situations, with every major sticking point "exactly" the same.

Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring
You answered yes and no to questions that showed up why not exactly the same. The OED could have assisted you in not having asking this again had you taken my earlier advice.God is an Englishman wrote:So what relevant points are not exactly the same?Bomber wrote:Then you might twig that each situation has its own considerations and differences, subtle or otherwise.

Re: South Australia - pitch doctoring
One relevant point - the Test was for a 5 day match, whereas the Shield is a 4 day match. They would require different "doctoring" to ensure a result - the Shield pitch couldn't be made to last 5 days for example.God is an Englishman wrote:So what relevant points are not exactly the same?

Not sure how relevant that is, it still requires doctoring to ensure a result pitch.Slinky_Pete wrote:One relevant point - the Test was for a 5 day match, whereas the Shield is a 4 day match.

Don't need to deflect, you've used the same excuse as redmum for not answering a question. Look how low you've sunk.
You're only way out now is either suicide or to answer the question.

Answered already - as I said, either too lazy to use scroll function, or plain stupid, or finding it hard to admit defeat. Which one applies, or is it more than one? I've given you examples of why it isn't exactly the same and you even helped illustrate it. If you have trouble with that and find your only way to feel better about it is repeating the same question then suggest seek therapy (Col could refer one to you) or just deal with it. There's no shame in being wrong (or so I'm told).
