Its great grass at Anfield, professional grass.
English conditions have changed over the years. Lots of runs are being scored in one-day cricket now in England, pitches are good for batting.
Champions League matches are not always played on good pitches.
In India, the wicket tends to get a bit slower once the ball gets old, but in England, it's pretty much the same whether it's new ball or old ball.
I don't agree with the theory that removing grass and pace from the pitch nullifies Mitchell Johnson.
I don't think it matters too much if you are batting or bowling first on this pitch. The wicket remains the same throughout the 40 overs. There is only the dew factor that probably comes in the second innings.
A cricket ground is a flat piece of earth with some buildings around it.
I do not fear grassy tracks. Whether there is grass or not on the wicket, I am not worried.
