Garbage bowling all round

I have a lot of sympathy for bowlers, a flat pitch, it swung for a few overs, there was a bit of spin, but this is a small ground. Pant hit a few sixes with one hand off the bat. Mishits are regularly going for six. big bats & players spending time in the gym instead of down the pub.
I've been sat in the stands with Bairstow batting, & the ball reaches the boundary in no time, he hits it very hard, as many of these top players do.
Bowlers seem reluctant to bowl yorkers, if the miss their length by six inches, the ball is out the ground. Bumrah is one of the few who bowls yorkers, which sets him apart in white ball cricket.
