India had beaten NZ on pace friendly tracks last time.

Thats the thing, before the English series at home, on our pitches pacers were taking more wickets than spinners. Shami, yadav etc were running through sides

 

So no idea why suddenly we decided to go only for spin starting from that series

Perfect. 

 

King Kohli is back and so is the win at all costs mentality. 

GOAT kohli requires rank turners even at home to win a test match while goatee Rahane wins a series outside home even with an inexperienced side. Goat coolie<<<<<Goatee Rahane.

Yes!! Doctor the pitches more for the darling spinners.

 

The moment the team steps out of the continent, fans and establishment remember the pace bowlers and it is time to give them a Pulp Fiction foot massage for any hope of wins.

 

But at home the pace bowlers are the step child and the spinners are the darlings.

A relapse? An addict(India) turns to its chosen drug(spin) for its fix when faced with difficulties.?

After giving confidence to Rachin with the bat, maybe it is time to make him and Ajaz heroes with the ball

Wicket needs a bit of pace. Now slow paced pitch. That will hurt the potency of our spinners. If we have bounce it is even better.

It's not that. It's hard to create sporting pitches in India due to conditions. Only flat wickets with some bounce is possible.

Yadav is older now. Losing steam. Shami is unavailable. They don't want to pick bumrah as he is resting. Siraj is injured maybe that's why? I hope we bring those pitches back 

 

Actually our bowling has always been good post 2015. Problem is our batsmen are dogshit. On 400 plus pitches they score 300. That's the issue now.
