With the average match going 10 minutes or less today (as opposed to even complete squashes that could last longer even 15-20 years ago), there's less of that than ever before. Not so much that the pace of the matches has changed as that the pace of the TV product has changed, with shorter matches requiring less time & therefore fewer rest holds.

FTR, you haven't seen me make any claim of that sort. Just making the point that the conditioning gap is a lot less today than it would have been in the past.
