ICC it's Ireland Vs India don't help India so much with flat wickets..If they cannot win against Ireland and Zimbabwe on seaming tracks ..how you expect them to win against NEw Zealand Australia ..or you will make turning track for those games. First thing with New ICC rule hitting is quite easy and with flat tracks what 500 runs

my dear aus and sa were already helped by preparing flat wickets so that they will get 400 runs ....otherwise they would have lost those matches...
Inexplicable. Just look at the headline. Felt it is one more of those 'BCCI forced the curator to prepare a pitch' kind of news - But nowhere it is about preparing this pitch FOR Indian batters. Curator says he is preparing pitches like this in Worldcup as per ICC diktat; so, where does the Indian angle come into picture here? Such a misleading headline... why is Indian Media so apologetic about the success of Indian cricket - that they (want Indian public to) see conspiracy in every thing that is positive for us..? Disgusting.
Conditions are still the same for all teams that played these pitches.
In any case, it was the pacers who excelled for India and not the spinners.
Umesh was uncharacteristically accurate and wicket taking, while Shami proved priceless, Mohit topped up 140 kmph and it was good all round performance..
BCCI may be corrupt, but don't belittle India's performance in this world cup.
This ICC dictat is they are ruining the game if this trend continues we will not even watch the game .This is the worst CWC ever already and is a shame the way they are preparing belters
