The death of fast bowling.

How well would some of the putative greats have gone on constant featherbeds?

Is it that the quicks are worse, or look worse because of the featherbeds?

Does the 'cheaping' of the records only apply to batsmen given that the bowlers have largely got to bowl on pitches which offer little assistance.

Does this mean that bowlers who bowled on uncovered pitches or the seaming decks of other eras were 'cheaping' bowling records?

If you're talking about Beaker, yeah.

The descent into irrelevance of English county cricket.

When someone can average 100 in two successive seasons but not be considered good enough for test selection then either the selectors are stuffed or the competition he plays in is.

Dead, uninteresting clone pitches all over the world.

Ponting.
