Not one soul in the Aussie or Western media is criticizing the pitch now...

[narenpande1]

It is all good ..when you win once a while. Ba$tard hypocrites. Also a lesson for stinking old hags in the Indian media who keep needling the team

about doctored home pitches.

 

Hope this result has knocked some sense into the cricketing fraternity, that the western press are fcuking third rate hypocrites.  We should prepare what suits us to an extreme extent.

 

Our batting was a disgusting shame. Ashwin too has not been in form, he needs like more than half a session to get his rhythm and leaks too many runs.

 

This was also a lesson to the arrogant and ignorant here that never underestimate Australia. I had said it before too..

Yes, and I still insist on such pitches. Cannot help it if an Aussie super light weight does 10 times better than Warne and Murali combined in India. Could your chacha have forseen that ?? 

[Laaloo]

They are not criticizing because they won. I think they are actually laughing at us. Hey they beat us in our home in less than 2.5 days. They can enjoy it.

No one could have forseen it tbf but that's why rank turners are bad, they are like a lottery, our home advantage is not rank turners but flat wickets with a bit of turn, and we should always prepare those types of wickets, irrespective of what anyone says

Flat wickets after seeing how Aussies got wiped clean in Lanka and Sharjah against Pak ? For what , to gift them a few high scoring draws ?

 

This loss was atrocious. Keefe is a mediocre spinner. Our batters have never performed as pathetically as a unit in more than 2 years.

 

Hopefully they would come back into their original form.

They won't draw because our flat wickets crumble on the last day, with scoreboard pressure they have no hope of surviving, I'd be more than happy gifting a few extra runs to warner or smith than gifting wickets to a pie chucker like keefe, how many draws have we had on those flat wickets over the past few months? Rank turners should be banned

And how is that not a lottery, if we are to bat on D5 ?

 

One bad game does not imply we move away from our greatest strength.

 

South Africa is a far better all round test team than Australia. We cleaned them up on such pitches. Ditto England ( a damn good team and better than Australia )

Because the game is set up on the first 4 days and not on the 5th day, we didn't have rank turners against england, rank turners are not our strength, we even gave a 6-fer to michael clarke and came very close to losing in mumbai, rank turners take away the home advantage

Yes exactly, the management had a brain fart and didnt remember 2012 and created a rank turner. our batsmen CANNOT play spin on rank turners since Sachin and Dravid etc retired because they give importance to IPL. BCCI itself has killed the skill by preparing green tops and bouncy wickets in Ranji then how can young batsman practice on rank turners to get themselves equipped for tests.  Pathetic

[chewy]

Western media is like Pakistani sour butts posters

i agree with OP, they reek of hypocrisy, again like one post mentioned...the frogs are kicking and having a field day, will soon go back to croaking 

[CG]

Lol true.

We get plenty of turning tracks in domestics .Infact poor turning tracks that results in 2 day tests has been regular complaint against Ranji teams for a long time.

 

 

[Doctored Wicket]

You are correct about never under estimating an opposition.

But no one complains about wickets anymore. Unless they are really really poorly prepared by the curator.

India are contemplating the types of wickets in the remainder of the series.

But that is ok. It's called home ground advantage. Nothing to complain about.

 

[Trichromatic]

It was a 300+ pitch. Why would they criticize it? They scored 550 runs in 2 innings here.

[Mariyam]

Western media in general does not give two hoots about cricket. That too test cricket.

Not entirely true. Cricket gets a lot of coverage in Australia, England, South Africa etc.

But in Western countries Cricket competes with a lot of other sports that are bigger than Cricket in those countries and is not as big (prob #2 or #3) whereas in India, Cricket rules the roost.
