believe  me the more spicy pitch or swing the more favoured indian bowlers will be.....if flat pitches then aussie bowling is much more capable than indian to take 20 wickets...we need seam or swing.

100% correct. If you look at SA series Indian bowlers bundled out SA for less than Aussie bowlers did. India is the better bowling attack. What is shameful is that what business does COA have in making those decisions?

if pitch is spicy ,indian bowlers will do much better job than aussie bowlers..if pitch is flat s a road then aussie bowlers generate much more bounce and more disciplined....coa is dumb.

Bit of a tactical blunder imo. If the pink ball moves around under lights, our bowlers can exploit it better and their batting would be exposed just like Jimmy and broad did this past Australian summer. Having said that most of the recent reforms made by ICC(since 2007) are all Pro SENA countries. Changing the white ball after 35th , two new balls, 4 day tests, d/n tests etc. etc.

There is a lot of truth to the article when talking about bureaucracy, the board has been run by netas who cared about $$$ as the primary objective and even there they come to terms with realities much later such as potential of T20 cricket for local & global growth. So what if others invented the car, our horses make us money and they've been doing so for so long.

 

We should have had innovations such as hawk eye and hot spot originate in India given our cricket crazy culture and insane revenues but we are the last ones to touch them.

We should have played the pink ball test,its a risk with the extra movement but our bowlers can move it around too.a guy like Bhuvi would be deadly  but i dont see Bhuvi being all the effective on those roads in Australia.
