I don't like this paying the curator shite, feels like an open bribe for doctoring the pitch. 

 

He paid them after the game

What's the need ? Dravid is not in a restaurant tipping chefs for cooking a delicious yummy dish, this is professional International Cricket.

No harm, just don't make it a public news, doesn't seem right to me, I can have my own opinion about this, can't I?

Setting a precident, I am sort of fan who wants to see sporting cricket on a sporting wicket. Word has gone around the circuit that the international coach has started offering Cash Incentives in making spin friendly dust bowls. Match is in Mohali or Dharmashala, historical sporting wickets of India. Curators their starts doctoring wickets expecting a cash Incentive from the Coach. I don't think this is a right thing to do for a coach. Focus on team building, Team Mentorship, techniques of batters against spinners, etc. their enough on his plate already. As a fan I don't expect my coach to distribute rewards for doctoring pitches.

and why do you think its the first time its done?

 

Dhoni did the same and it was same Kanpur curator who announced it.

 

It might well be a regular practice in Indian cricket.

 

And last game was anything but a dustbowl.So if there is a reward for that,why would anyone make dustbowl?

Dont think what Dhoni did was right either. Let's agree to disagree here & Kanpur was a sluggish pitch, with ball bouncing 6 inches on a length. Good job rewarding such shoddy work
