Now Dale Steyn expressed his reaction on this explosive statement and said that why are people so afraid of cracks.

Is.

Why are we so afraid of cracks?

Dale Steyn wrote on X: “Why are we so afraid of cracks? Also think about Sydney and Perth. The cracks are so wide that you can park a car inside them, and yet Test matches there always last for 4 and 5 days! It sucks that a Test match ends so quickly that you don’t even see any sign of a crack. Pitches keep getting worse every day, so let it happen. “Two-day Tests are not Test matches.”
