Well if you are right - then cricket as a game has ended, I for one would stop watching - and turn to baseball instead.
But I don't think you are right - front line bowlers on any pitch will take wickets, bowlers like Holding and Garner would have bowled on sand - better than the bowlers you mention bowl on cricket pitches.
Maybe the standard of coaching is poor - and bowlers are not taught to bowl in all conditions, a few years back bowlers like Lee Shoaib and Flintoff, would just has took a yard of their pace.
Also countries should be fined for producing POOR cricket wickets.
