– Pitch Condition on Day 4 and 5:

Perhaps, batting on a Day 4 or a Day 5 pitch in Asian conditions would be the nightmare for any batsman. The cracks on the pitches and the dust will help the spinners thus making things pretty tough for the batsman. Add rough patches to it, which were created during the 3 to 4 days of play.

Spinners would simply deliver on those patches and bag those wickets in their kitty like it was a video game played on Easy mode.  More often than not, you find spinners opening the innings for the bowling team on Day 4 or 5 sometimes on Day 3 or 2 as well. Though pitches deteriorate even in overseas, the pitch condition will be worse in Asian conditions.
