What absolute rubbish. Watering a pitch whether done or not (after a cyclone hit New South Wales anyway) should have no impact on world class players; some of whom play on November nights in Sale, Bristol and Leicester.

We should be nervous, pessimistic, jumpy. We should call out the first rumblings, the accidental tells, the faintest glimmers.
