ganguly please stop crying...indian batsmen are not complaining...current indian cricket team in all formats created by dhoni from scratch...they are fighters...
This is nothing new for Indian team, they have always faced biased situations in favor of home team. Let it be umpiring, pitches, ICC penalties and so on. History is witness to this.
As SA also bowled out within 200,comments by dada is somewhat correct. Little bit of better planning by India ,SA could not surpass 187.Mind it India gave away 23 extras which also reflects poor pitch condition.However we all expect India should win this test since bowlers have done splendid job and batsmen to support.
Tell Mr ganguly not to talk about pitches because in India we make unprepared pitches for spinners at that time he never says that we should complain to icc it is simply a case of grapes turning sour
Everything is fair in love and war..When SA came to India they encountered spinning track and matches ended inside 3 or 4 days.They did not complain.It is easy to blame the wicket when you dont have the technique to survive.What has wicket to do with the dismissals of Vijay,Parthiv and Hardik.you can easily blame the wicket when you dont have the patience to stay at the wicket.Players like Dravid,Pujara will not complain to play on this wicket because they have the patience to survive and score runs.

that's right, same ganguli keeps his mouth shut when blowers are clobbered on some dead wickets like wankhede in India. He has never announced any dead pitch unfair for bowlers in his life!!
Dada may be correct. But before SF's batting, unfair comments should not be made. Let them also bat then we can come to a conclusion. Still, as far as first day pitch is concerned, Dada's comment is correct.

Please tell him to keep his mouth shut because it is a known fact that Indians r very poor at playing fast bowling and then when we play in India we also dish out the same kind of pitches so he has got no right to complain about the pitches and if u r the number one team in the world u should go and win everywhere and not just in india

India made sporting wickets which turned not a rank turner.So get your facts correct. But the wanderers wicket is really unplayable sometimes and India has a right to complain. Its was compounded by poor technique of some Indian batsmen but that doesnot make the pitch sporting and even Jhonty Rhodes was forced to say in TV commentary that the pitch is lopsided in favour of bowlers with a lot of spice. When Rhodes comment u hail him as an expert and when Indians former captain comments you ask him to keep his mouth shut? Typical colonial mindset.Stop polishingwhite peoples boot and call spade a spade
As Dada says it is unfair on the batsmen, but we have a very potent pace attack . So, it should be advantage India if we can hold all our catches , and not allow the SA tail to score runs. Some of our own spinning wickets are also unfair to the batsmen, so it's no use complaining.
