The discussion about the pitch of the Cape Town Test, which ended in one and a half days, does not stop. Regardless, it is said to be the shortest Test match in history. The discussion about this match should be the longest.

The pacers showed dominance throughout the match in the Cape Town Test. They dismantled the batters with pace, swing and bounce. The spinners did not bowl a single ball in the entire match. India finally won the match by 7 wickets. Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed his anger about the pitch after the match. If such a pitch is fine then he asked everyone to shut up about India's pitch as well. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has also expressed his disappointment regarding the pitch.

After 23 wickets fell on the first day in Cape Town, former South African captain Shaun Pollock commented on the TV pitch report on the second day that 'the Newlands curator had got it wrong' - Sunil Gavaskar, in a column for Mid-Day, said, “These kind of excuses that the curator got it wrong is typical of the SENA countries. When our curators make a dry pitch then it’s ‘chicanery’ as a former Australian skipper said last year after the Aussies had been walloped in the first two Test matches.

“So our groundsmen do it deliberately, but their groundsmen just get it wrong. It’s like before the third country umpires came in, where decisions by their umpires were excused as ‘human error’ while our umpires were cheats and ‘Delhi Butchers’ and all such derogatory headlines.”
