Moderation ??

I have myself moderated by first message 3 times to make it as non controversial as possible. Since you have not published even the last one, I am convinced your moderation is a big joke

Earlier Indian Pitches were ideal
by SS on Nov 26, 2015 12:07 AM

During the 1990's and early 2000's

Indian wickets had something in them for Fast Bowlers on Day 1.

Day 2 and Day 3 belonged to Batsmen who used to score Big runs.

Only by Day 4 and Day 5 was there Big Spin for the spinners due to the Wear and tear and footmarks on the wicket.

This was the reason why Indians played well, Batted to the Crowd's thirst for Big runs, Bowled well on Day 4 and Day 5 with spin and used to Win consistently in India.

Of late - We began to change to Dustbowls on Day 1 itself - See how the wicket is crumbling and dust coming off everytime a bowler bowls.

This is a very unhealthy and unsporting attitude by BCCI, Indian team and curators. Yes we need to Win desperately - But not inside 3 or 2 days.

why India include out of form batsmen in the playing XI
by Ravi Kiran on Nov 25, 2015 08:34 PM

Indian Team Management should include K.L.Rahul in the playing XI rather than including out of form & inconsistent batsmen. He is ideal Test Batsman and it is time to encourage and develop such players. He can be a potential future Rahul Dravid if groomed and encouraged systmatically.
