For that matter, all over the world, the home pitch advantage is clearly evident now. Teams like South Africa, India and Pakistan failed miserably in Bangladesh. Now see Aussie debacle in England. England can't carry their seaming pitches and permanently overcast conditions for their overseas matches! they will come back with similar fate in their return match in pacy bouncing Australian pitches. Financial gains will becricket's loss.
Indian Team is also Tigers at Home and Lambs abroad - We proved it after Losing to Bangladesh, who later claimed themselves to be "The Real Tigers" after Beating Indian team on their soil.
Had it been Team BCCI, Michael Clarke would have been retained till 40 years to complete his career with records under his name, Ryan Harris, Chris Rogers would still not have retired or dropped. Shane Watson would be Leading All rounder and Brad Haddin might also serve till 39 years of age.
BCCI considers Reputation ahead of performance and would have retained old talent for future tours like how they are doing now.
The reason why Dhobii was removed as Test captain was just because he got entangled in CSK case with Srini Mama not able to fix crucial abroad matches like Semi Final of 2015 World cup.

very true...thats why after monkeygate when they stopped sledging for some time they went downhill rapidly...only when they started sledging again their results started getting better again...
thats what i have been telling for so long...aussies are just tigers at home and lambs abroad...clarke is just a home bully averaging 60 plus at home and barely 40 in away tests...and now he has 13 away test defeats in 24 away tests that he has captained...
