West Indies legend Clive Lloyd opened up on the Cape Town pitch controversy and said that cricketers playing at this level should be able to handle these kind of conditions.
During an interaction with the media after receiving the Lifetime Achievement award from Adamas University of Kolkata, Lloyd said, “If you are playing top-class cricket, you should be able to handle those sort of things.”
“I do not think anything was wrong with the pitch. Somebody made a hundred on that same pitch, on a wearing pitch, so I think it is just an application,” he added.

Notably, the IND vs SA 2nd Test in Cape Town was concluded inside two days, becoming the shortest Test recorded in terms of the number of overs bowled in the game.
The pitch, which saw 23 wickets falling on opening day, came under a lot of criticism, consequently getting an “unsatisfactory” rating from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
