Yeah Shire. 4/5 years ago it zipped through. I moved there and they've gone slower and lower :( just can't get on the back foot at all!

The wickets in Oxfordshire are flat and dead
The soil breaks up too easily, kills all the pace

The wickets are just as bad for bowlers as batters

Played on a few of them and they are generally low and slow.
