ICL was the pioneer of 20:20 league in India but the concept was hijacked by Modi and ICL was destroyed with BCCI money and muscle power that not even the ICC, ACB and ECB had the balls to defy. Else, had at least 2 or 3 Test nations recognized ICL, IPL would have been a mega flop.
Cricket is the only game in the world which has no standard field measurement.Host country makes crease as their own-spinning,substandard, broken to make their victory easy as if a swan is invited to get food in dish.Is it game?

host countries like SA / aussie make concrete ones to assit them, so whats wrong in making our own adjustments ?
Spinner-friendly pitches can be better for India, if we have the Big-3 in the middle order. Since Dravid is out, it would be risky and if Laxman is also not there then it can backfire. Spinner-friendly does not need to be dust bowls as they often make. Anyway I don't think curators will make greentops. Pitch has to be sporting else Test match can not be interesting.
kapil at times just talk for the sake of saying things... if he thinks twice a year performer zeher kha is as good magarth then looks like some gold balls have hit brain cells...

Naughty gurpreet. Someday I will pull your ears for all the mischief that you cause here.
Though itz a rubbish suggestion, Dhobi will go ahead a step ahead and prepare dust bowls for the Test series. On the other hand, if there is some grass left on the pitches, then Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel will blow away the flat track bullies of Dhobi like they did in Ahmedabad 2 years ago. Dhobi will do anything to keep his place and post at least until the 2011 WC.
now, even our spinners r not that good. bhajji cant b relied upon n ojha doesnt look like wkt taking bolr. mishra looks good but dhoni isnt allowing him to settle in the team inspite of good performance. so it wont b our spinners but lack of sa's skill in playing our avg spinners which might help us. but its better to hv pitch allowing both pace n spin that vl b good. if by luck, zaheer n ishant performs then its our day.

In the last test against Bangladesh, Ojha was second highest wicket taker after Zaheer. In the test agaisnts Srilanka, Mishara bowled full day and could not take a wicket. Ojha was brought in the next test and he took important wickets at right time for India to win. What are you saying man ?

mishra played on placid wkt with no help to spinners. even bhajji got nothing on that pitch. in first test, mishra bowled well in bangla, but was dropped by dhoni.
