INDIANS MUST LEARN TO PLAY SPIN FOR PLAYING ON TURNING TRACKS
by damodaran mohan on Nov 13, 2015 03:34 PM  | Hide replies

BCCI is well within its rights to prepare pitches to suit home advantage but the question is do they want to promote 5-days Test cricket or they want some 3 days tamashas every time ? The new BCCI chief Shashank Manohar may be happy to start his innings with a Test win alright but can he really feel proud of the win with hardly any quality Test cricket in display? At Mohali the batting did look thin especially the way top Indian batsmen were playing spin like novices just managing 400 runs in two innings ! Even the two top Indian batsmen Murali Vijay and Pujara the way they got out playing spin was pathetic. But for SA’s inept batting at Mohali the spinning track could have as well boomeranged on India going down 0-1 instead. Ravi Shastri says he will play 4 spinners if need be and he wants surface to match that! Preparing pitches for home advantage is fine but why go to the extreme ? I think Ravi Shastri must coach his batters to learn to play spin properly first before asking for turning tracks. Can’t the home advantage be achieved with proper balance and preparing good sporting wickets to facilitate 5 days of Test game with surfaces helping pacers to start with first 2 days of game and then gradually taking turn 3 rd days onwards ? At Mohali the pacers were reduced to irrelevance although traditionally Mohali had all along been a pacers paradise. So going by the Mohali Test India do not need any pacers at Banagluru and can go with 4 spinners including th

(contd.)including the all rounder like Gurukeerat who can bat well . Then even Rohit the extra batsman can play too !MRF pace academy might as well be shut down! So what do we do when we go overseas tours ? Go w/o pacers ? It is time for BCCI to strike proper balance to safeguard home advantage keeping the demands of overseas tours in mind. That is the only way of preserving Test cricket unless BCCI wants to promote shorter versions with IPL in mind.

Spoken like a true sportman. Too much has been said and written, both for and against, about pitch and curators in the last few weeks.De Villiers's statement should settle the conflict.

"Well said. Our own ppl are enemies or may be they just want to bring all mirch masala so all the time there is some discussion and trps of news channels websites is up all the time. It could be purely evil too just oppose anything which is in our favor. Also shamelessness is in our culture along with stupidity."
