Why not? We won by an innings against NZ last time there IIRC.

[coffee_rules]

There are rumors that Bengaluru s one of the venues. Hope it happens

[Stan AF]

Sennai

 

Give it to Chennai.

[Gollum]

Pathetic organization. So unprofessional

[neel roy]

Indore or rajkot. I prefer indore. Tailor made dosa for tridev.. 

[Bigg Brother]

Rajkot? Seriously? 

 

Should be Channai/Kolkata.. Was excited for Dharmshala. Beautiful venue it is.

Horrors of Steve O'Keefe's straight balls and obviously Steve Smith .

Why don't they hold high profile series in marquee venues like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkatta, Chennai, Bangalore instead of smaller venues.

D’sala is the most picturesque stadium in Ind. 

 

If the ground was getting upgraded (new drainage and stuff) maybe, some due diligence was required to see its progress before picking it as one of the venues.

Marquee Tests (Aus, Eng, SA) should be held at 5/6 major venues ( Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chennai and Bengaluru) and the other test series can be rotated around the other Tier 2 cities.

Dharmshala should be a regular test venue. It has it's own charm.

Eden gardens is a must. The memory of 2001 series  should be celebrated there every series. Also chennai has produced a lot of magical contests between India and Australia. 1987, 1998, 2001

I agree. Give it a world class infrastructure if it doesn't have and make it a regular test venue. 

[speedracer]

Dharamashala is a beautiful. Venue. What a game we had last time there vs Aussies. Rahane captain goat captain.

It’s really baffling that BCCI is yet to figure out marquee (read: Easily accessible) stadia to host test matches, if they are serious about having high attendance for these games. Metro cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kanpur and Eden Garden should be our nominated test venues.

 

Having said that, these stadia should not get to host any T20i and to an extent any non-WC ODI matches to ensure others get to enjoy the cake as well.

[AuxiliA]

Damn it! Was looking forward to the Dharamshala test. Easily the best looking stadium in the country and one of the best in the world. 

 

Also the pitch was great for everyone last time we played Aus over there.
