For Once I Agree Wholeheartedly with a Pakistani in this matter

Yes Indeed, India's Attitude & Aggression with Spin was Really Unsporting & Unjustified and Showed our Indian Cricketing Culture in the poorest light.

Indians wanted to prove that Foreigners could not play Spin & India can dominate them by employing such tricks.

However by doing so, Indians Proved that The World cannot beat us only on Spinning pitches - Hence Obviously they will prepare Fast Bouncy & Swinging wickets that will put Indian team's Technique & skill to the sword.

As far as Aus vs NZ Match which finished inside 3 days - Both Australia & New Zealand knew how to play Fast bowling & Australia clearly proved that they can beat New Zealand in Australian Fast pitches.

Australia & New Zealand series was a much more evenly ought series as both sides had the Bowling & Batting depth to compete with each other.

Younis Khan is absolutely Right in saying that Indians Remote Controlled the wickets to suit their style & strength of playing cricket and it was totally one sided.

India-South Africa test series
by Rabi De on Dec 23, 2015 04:52 PM  | Hide replies

Younis Khan's comment is so ridiculous since he forgotten that the test between Australia and New Zealand ended under three days in Adelaide due to excessive seamimg conditions. The Delhi test was extended to the fifth day, so what was the problem in Indo-Proteas series, worthless comments..

Tennis as ex
by Saba Pathy on Dec 23, 2015 11:17 AM

Grand slam events in Tennis has 4 diff courts and player who can play well in all the four courts are the best in class.

In that context, we should have pitches that spins from day-1, pitches that are seaming, pitches that is bouncy... and batsman who can ply well on all these diff pitches, and bowler who can bowl well in all these pitches are great ones.

India did the right thing. We should have pitches made for spinners. Oz should make pitches which are bouncy. Indian players should go bat/bowl on those pitches to prove they are world class.

Pak-Eng

Was the Pak-Eng Series in UAE a good advertisement for Test Cricket? Most boring matches, where low quality batsmen like Shoaib Malik made double centuries. Talk about that series. The Ind-SA was a 100 times more interesting in comparison.
