Yes and no: if just back of a length deliveries are sitting up and saying "hit me" instead of jumping off the seam and posing problems then a bowler who works off seam movement from exactly that type of delivery is under quite ridiculous pressure to find a fuller length...

I agree that few subcontinental pitches are that much better...but that's not saying much: the only recent pitches worthy of staging a game have been Multan and (guessing) the pitch on which Asif just ran through Sri Lanka....
