Don't they put the covers on when there's a delay?

be realistic - how can they do anything to stop deterioration when the hard disc is crashed?
(edited)

so how can they age the pitch when the hard disc has crashed ?

do you think time stops?

On very large planets, I think it slows. Could they not start the games as if they were 10:30 am ?

I expect they'll try to - they run them all in 5 minutes anyway and then display the results slowly - which makes me wonder where the chance for deterioration comes in

Yesterday someone said that flat pitches produce the most startling collapses - anyone able to back this up? I had it happen a few weeks ago

Cracked is the one for collapses - I find that Flat pitches tend to result in steady performances from batsmen.

I wonder if anyone has collected any data

I used cracked all year last season and had 1 collapse
and this year 1 collapse on flat in 2 goes

by collapse I mean the whole batting line up completely failed twice in FC for no good reason.

which proves nothing
