When the pitches in SA/ENG/AUS/ NZ has bounce & swing from day one & there also many times match finishes in three days , that time where are these match referee's ??
No one raises objection at that time - -
Fact is , that SA cannot simply face deadly Indian spin attack . They can't even connect the ball with bat on turning wickets As seen in Nagpur test .
Okay , Nagpur's pitch was bad , then what happened to SA team at Mohali/ Bangalore ??
Now see , they are going to lose in Delhi also, even by a bigger margin & should start searching some lame reason from now itself .
I shall call spade a spade.India won because of the pitch only. South Africa is a vastly superior side.I want India to reach that level.But, not with the help of a pitch like that. We need to prepare our cricketers to play well in foreign soil. Our pitches have to be prepared like that.

Well... the opposite is equally true then.. teams outside the subcontinent should prepare their cricketers to play well in spinning conditions..

To win test matches in sub continent visiting teams needs to have quality spinners. SA don't have that It's their problem
We have seen in the past how the umpires collude with the westerners in bringing out biased decisions. The bucknor story, the monkey gate saga,the incident of banning of 9 or 10 Indian players once in SA for over appealing are all examples of their suspicious involvements. All the batsmen including Indians were way below par both temperamentally and ability wise.Most dismissals were not caused due to the pitch behaving abnormally but it was the lack of application and ability of the batsmen which got exposed in nagpur

Cricket Was, Is and in Future will forever be a Western Game as it was Invented by Englishmen, so they will have The Final Say in The Game which they have Invented and Configured - If at all India were to compete with The Rest of The World, then they will be Judged only by playing Fast bowling alone.

Before waiting for our next foreign tour, you should rate the opposition team's performance on indian soil as well. The yardsticks with which you rate the performances should be same for all. Don't forget Aussies were white washed when they toured India last time. Iam in no way saying we are the best team but your comments on spin and fast bowling makes me believe that you are living in a fools paradise

If Indians haven't played cricket, then the game would have been kn danger of its existence. And with regards to your argument, there would have nothing left with the westerners for them to have a final say on
We had prepared pitches earlier for historic test in Kolkata where there was something for batsmen/bowers. But many may not agree that we can not win matches like that any more with players like Kohli, Shikhar, Ajinkya score runs for India in India. quite shameful. And this is proved in the ODI and T20 series vs SA.
