Ex-England skipper Michael Atherton noted that roughly 20% of Test matches currently conclude inside three days, a significant jump from the 7% seen during the 1990s. Atherton pointed to several factors driving this shift, including aggressive batting styles shaped by T20 cricket, a talented generation of pace bowlers, and the impact of DRS in raising the number of LBW decisions. Additionally, he mentioned that surfaces have favored bowlers more frequently since the introduction of the World Test Championship (WTC).
