The advantage in cricket is that the batsmen can always readily blame the pitch, the umpire, the guy walking across the sight screen, the weather, the fans, the third umpire, the match refree, the system, etc etc. They are always confident of their skills though. I agree that the pitch plays an important part in cricket but how is that the opposition is able to score the runs with ease ? This shows their poor pitch reading skills considering the important part the pitch plays in cricket .

Yeah and we bowled on the same pitch....so Indian bowlers should have taken all 10 wickets of Lanka

Please ignore Prasanth's comments, He is a mentally challenged person, I know him from college days :-)
The current lot of Indian players are all mediocre and can not play even if a pitch does something. That shows why Sachin, Rahul and Laxman are greats but these players are just ordinary cricketers.

The future comments from Indian captain: (Imagination only)..... If the pitch is slow, we cannot play. Similarly... If it turns, bounces above waist high, swings, moves in the air and etc., we cannot play. Bring on a ready made pitch that makes the ball come straight, no movement, turn or bounce, we will show you what we are. P.S: We have ordered for readymade pitches and we will carry the same with us where we go... to all the tours. This pitch has a shelf life. Once we see it misbehaving we will replace it. Thanks, MSd
