Mark Ramprakash tells the Daily Telegraph's Nick Hoult that the batting conditions in England now are the worst he has faced in 25 years as a professional, and that the game’s administrators are devaluing the County Championship.
"The pitches are doing plenty throughout the game. It has been very difficult and it is more about trying to bat a very aggressive way whenever possible. I don’t feel that is proper batting. I feel proper batting is treating the ball on its merits."
