Pitches should be made only for domestic cricket. For visiting teams like ENG,Aussies,SA & WI wickets should be rank turners. Test them on rank turners as they would test us on green tops We should also not forget to make disparaging remarks about their competence after each loss in India.
We should take home advantage like other teams do. I can bet if India get turning wickets like 90s, this english side can't stand in front of us beyond 3 days. The perfect example of turning wicket was Mumbai test between India and Australia where M.Kartik took 6 wickets and Aus couldn't chase 105 in 4th inning.

ENG & AUS though most of their pitches favour Swing & seam or pace & bouncy type,still they do have pitches which favour spinners and they don't doctor them irrespective of the opposition.Sydney & Adelaide in Australia and Oval in England are case in point.Last time when India played at Oval,it was Swann who demolished Indian batting not their pacers.And Australia plays spinners when they play in Sydney & Adelaide.Even during Warne era,they used to play Mcgill along with him when they used to play on those pitches.

India also has Mohali which sometimes favours pace bowlers. Not a big deal.

Dude.. Sharne Warne was successful in all the pitches including in Pakistan, Sri Lanka.. except in India he did not do well.. But our Ashwin, Bhajji, Kumble were successful only in India and Sri Lanka... They were screwed in england, australia, south africa etc..

Re: Will our curators heed Dhoni's call for turning wickets?

let us go for hunger srike, we need annas help for this case also.
as we know indian BCCI officails or ledaers are afraid to be criticised by brtitish or international media,they have habits of listening to praise only,if they make sporting wickets,as expected by british,NZ,or WI ballers,but they biased foriegneres never prepare turning pitches in their own country?,so there is no wrong and indian curators must preapare 90 degree turning pitches,as,its our strenght,anybody form BCCCI listening?
Whats wrong if we we set our pitches as turing tracks?Enlsnd were so proud beating India 4-0 on tailor made pitches and - it was poor ability of the world class Indian players which cost them matches - according to British papers in the net!!Now it is only confused mindset of the English players which cost them the match - according to same British papers!!
Hai friends, Not only india all team should play in good pitches.. only quality pitches produces result and players. If spin indai can win, Pace England has edge.. Pitch shold not decide result. How many agree??

So,according to u Pete Sampras & Boris Becker were never no.1 players/gr8 players as pete never won Wimbledon and Becker never won French open.
