Only reason was Dalmiya/Pawar. Everyone saw what Nagpur pitch was like on the first morning and the next one in Mumbai.
Jason Gillespie (Comment): The wicket was green and had a bit of carry. It was so different from most of the Indian wickets, which are flat, low and suit the spinners.
I am not supporting the excuses give by our batsmen on that pitch, but it was there everyone to see how Dalmiya/Pawar (And their respective boards) play the cards.
India should win comfortably this time as pitches will be turning ones, just to keep the action going between Aus vs India in coming years as well.
