Surely, like with anything, a bit of veriety is the spice of life. You've got 5 days, might as well use them once in a while. I would say it might get a bit boring watching West Indies lose in 2.5 days every match, even for the neutral.
I'm not watching but apparently a few balls started kicking up dust too. Sub-continental wickets can go downhill quickly so you never know with a day 5 pitch (even one as good as this)
To be fair, there aren't many draws in Test cricket now a days. More to do with not preparing properly rather than the pitches but I am not sure these type of wickets are the main problem for falling Test viewership.
It would appear he is collecting dickheads: https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/paul-pogba-advanced-discussions-marseille-january-transfer-former-man-utd-star-mason-greenwood-ligue-1/blta34c7f11fb66d43b
A bit of a wobble (and a lot of sendings off) in the last few games. I wonder what the expectations are at Marseille this year. They seem to have spent some money so challenging for the title ight be an expectation.
I think he is just saying it is far more nuanced than stay or don't stay. You yourself has said they "could take a low paying job", that is a nuance itself as maybe they can;t afford that. Life isn't as simple as Option A or Option B.
I think it would go down to how it was rounded up or down rather than goal difference. If Brugge and Union are tied I think Union pip them. So still all to play for.
