Don Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Bossbhai gives us stats but they are specifically for TESTS. BB has left us in no doubt that India is the HARDEST place to score runs in test cricket. But in ODIs I feel we are certainly the easiest place to score runs. We get consitently shyt players like Samuels, Malik, Afridi, Jayawardne etc scoring runs agaisnt us in ODIs. I think this is the root of our troubles. We need to have more varietied pitches in ODIs in India. Link to comment
head coach Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Specifically for ODIs isnt India a haven for FTBs I think this is the root of our troubles. We need to have more varietied pitches in ODIs in India. Just curious, What happenned to the committed formed under Kapildev for this purpose? Did he gave any report or recommendations or did anyone act on it? Link to comment

gator Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Re: Specifically for ODIs isnt India a haven for FTBs odis are for commercial reasons in india and the pitches support them.... test matches are for contests and hence the pitches are difficult.... Link to comment

Captain of Bhangra Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Re: Specifically for ODIs isnt India a haven for FTBs I'm certain that during the Ind/Eng ODI series a year ago, there were matches where India really struggled to put up much more than 200, and won comfortably... I think there were similar matches in the 6-1 v Lanka, and against South Africa soon after that... Link to comment
