is it FAIR to beat Australia on such SPIN Tracks, crafted for spinners...

[vishalvirsingh]

from my perspective ..it is not fair and correct.

[Gollum]

In India it spins and reverses

In Aus it bounces a lot and seams a little bit

In Eng it swings and seams

In RSA it bounces a lot and seams a lot

 

In grass courts it skids and keeps low, plays fast

In clay court it plays like molasses, bounces shoulder high and lots of spin

In hard court, it is between the 2 extremes....Miami closer to clay, Cinci/Shanghai closer to grass

Then there is the additional complexity of indoor vs outdoor, indoor plays fast and low bounce, outdoor the opposite, but that again depends on temperature and humidity, more net clearance better option in outdoor as opposed to indoor (due to wind)

 

That's the way it has always been. Inherent nature of these different conditions/surfaces.....unlike say hockey, basketball, football playing surface (and overhead conditions) matters a lot in these 2 sports and there is lots of variety. Make peace with it.

Even in 2017 barring Dharamshala each test was spinfest,still people get nostalgic thinking those were like SENA pitches

 

This is no different,Dharamshal will again offer pyce and bownce,myte

If the Aussies weren't so inept against spin our quicks would have feasted on them. The 10 Aussies wickets that fell today, do you really think all of them were wicket taking, or even 5 of them? I couldn't believe the way some of their top 7 were playing Ash-Jaddu, like how our 90s era headless chickens fared in RSA and Aus. Our pacers didn't get a chance because of the useless Aussies.

Lol siraj was breathing fire. So did shami.

[Chakdephatte]

The track was not a spinning cobra. 280 was ideal score here, not 91.

 

 

[nevada]

If Axar and Jadeja can score big on this track, why can't the Aussies? Is the pitch really bad?

[neel roy]

India has beaten aus in adelaide, melbourne, melbourne again and then brisbane. It should have won in sydney in 2018 but rain saved them. Also in the pink ball test india were way ahead in the game till the debacle.. the perth test where kohli scored a fabulous century was even at certain stages and aus won a good toss as fourth innings in perth crack appears.. perversely the only test india lost comprehensively in last 12 tests against aus was in Pune 2017 which was a rank turner. I m not sure what is fair and unfair then..

[Gollum]

With proper selection we would have scored 500+ here. 

 

Imagine Gill, Iyer, Sundar/Sarfaraz in place of Kela, Pujara, Kohli!!!!! Not even talking about MVP Pant here

[AuxiliA]

Only CUCK Indians are apologetic for our spin friendly pitches. Facts!

 

Not our fault that Goras can't play spin.

Theek hai bhai. Galti ho gyi. We should withdraw from the series and hand the BGT to Australia. I mean really

Siraj didn't really come into picture but he would have picked up atleast 3-4 here.

[Austin 3:!6]

India should prepare Brisbane like pitch in next test.

Fans like these give ammunition to opposition media to do rona dhona

[AuxiliA]

I don't remember anyone blaming the australian conditions for our 36ao. 

 

Even the most jingoistic Indian players/fans didn't use the 'conditions' as an excuse. And that's why we won that series. 

 

But the Aussie crybabies will blame the 'pitch doctoring' and what not for their awfulness rather than looking in the mirror. 

 

No way they are winning or even drawing a test here with that crybaby attitude. 4-0 is confirmed.

If India can score 400 runs batting on this pitch even while carrying 3 out of form batsmen and two debutantes, then why can't their opponents? Do not equate lack of skill to pitch being unfair. If you ask this question just because Australia is not skilled at playing in spin friendly conditions, then you should also ask if it was fair for Australia, England, West Indies to have pace friendly pitches against us throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s when India didn't have any pace bowling talents (barring Kapil in the 80s)?

He doesn't like spinners.

Australia's premier spin bowler who has 450+ wickets and has played international cricket for over a decade got only 1 wicket while conceding over 100 runs. If this was such a spin friendly batting track, then why didn't he get a bucket full of wickets?
