I am fed up with Indian fans criticizing our bowlers. C'mon guys... you all know that the Sri Lankan f**kers have prepared a dead pitch with absolutely NO CHANCE for any bowling attack. Even the "great" Murali would have had this tail caught between his legs. This is a rubbish pitch. It's a batsman's playground.
Now I have a warning for the ICC; how can they lecture to us fans that test cricket is safe ????
I tell them that test cricket is NOT SAFE. If test cricket is continued to play on such sub standard and lifeless conditions then I don't see the format surviving past 2012. T20 cricket will be the ONLY format played in the near future because it's quick, interesting and result oriented.

The Australia india tests series in 2007 showed whats so awesome about test cricket. Cricketers behaving so badly cos they know its so imporatnat for their pride that they do well. That was test cricket. What we are seeing today is 90 overs of cricket for 5 days. Its no longer a test of everyones abilities. Stop the charade as all the quality bowlers have retired now, and the new crop of good bowlers are being lost due to overuse such as T20 games. Just stop playing anything but T20. Cricket today sucks. I am happy to have witnessed the very best of cricket through my teen years. Now off to sports where I can see talent and quality.
ICC should set some sourt of a standard for the wickets made worldwide specially for subcontinent. Otherwise it is a matter of time when this format will die.

rahul, do you think the pitches are made because of material benefit minded people. if you think decisive matches produces more money or material benefit then would not material benefit minded people make result oriented pitches. would material benefit minded people make those type of pitches which will not bring in money or material benefit?

gopal, there can be no standard because no pitches can be made which are same all over the world. there are no made-to-order pitches. everything depends on the climate and type of soil available. the pitches made in india will depend on the climatic conditions of the country and the type of soil available. similarly pitches in the other countries will depend on the the conditions of the country. you cannot have same kind of pitches on a desert and iceland.
I watched the whole match. Are you telling us how elegant the bowlers were running while bowling and their looks? May be you liked hair style of Ishant. Keep silent please
Raina, Please stop talking like a nonsence. Is it good bowling ? Then what do you mean by worst bowling ? Is it 600 for no loss ? Today you have started your test career, try to put maximum effort to your batting instead of trying to pass foolish statement. After loosing last test match our great captain blamed on their bowler and today you are telling your bowlers bowled well. Is it not a big JOKE
Re: RAINA please keep quite

F**k U !!! Raina is telling the truth. Any person with common sense can tell that this pitch is a DEAD one. There is nothing in it for ANY bowling attack unless the batsman decided to go back to the pavilion. Even the world class chucker Murali with his "STOLEN" 800 wickets wouldn't have chucked his brains out to grab wickets hahahaha. So quit the finger pointing on team India's bowling. Sure they are average but they ain't toothless.

pich is dead!! agree with you. but how come Indians are losing in these pitches???? have u ever ponder on that???
BCCI must launch serious talent hunt for pacers and speedsters to improvise .Bring on the top twenty fast bowlers and give them serious training and fitness tips .This is the only way India can end this drought/As far as spin is concerned , Harbhajan must morally resign .Murali karthik and Ashwin are real prospects.
