India-NZ semi-final switched from fresh pitch to used surface

[Trichromatic]

 

[Rajiv]

So its been happening through the tourney and it's a storm NOW?

[R!TTER]

Well who cares, even if we win on a seaming/swinging surface they'll moan any way!

[Gollum]

High time India/BCCI embrace the role of supervillain. Aussies were supervillains of the 2000s and they played along. More success we gain, more the jealousy, more the haters will burn, I say let them burn. Never be apologetic, that's a sign of the weak. 

 

[ViruPaaji]

Atkins need to come clean. Clear the air.

 

So far the only source is Tabloid/Whatsapp without actual proof.

 

BCCI needs a better PR

[Norman]

These guys are still not able to handle the realisation that BCCI / India are the overlords of world cricket. 

 

And now that we look like winning a world cup in the most dominating manner ever, their envy has reached it's zenith lol..

Aussies were super villians for different reasons though. They smashed everyone everywhere. They were like Thanos. Unfortunately this indian management will not give us such legacy, they're content with flexing money and clout instead of world class team in every department

Tabloid journalism. There is no rule against this. Used pitches can be played on. Let us not fall for this deliberate smear campaign which is used to undermine any Indian win. If we lose, we are chokers. If we win, pitch and/or match if fixed. **** em. If we win this, let us rub this in their noses for 4 years.

 

What is blatant is England fixing the boundaries at Edgbaston in 2019 and changing the ball on the last day of the Ashes this year.

Love this team embracing the dark side of the Force. Need to do this better and with some street smartness like the ECB does it   

 

They had planned the pitch for India league match in 2019 a full 6 months ahead of schedule. 

 

But with low IQ morons like Jay Shah in charge , we are forced to do this stuff the day before the match ,  exposing us to all sorts of ridicule

This is just to trivialize if they lose. Hope these buggers get castrated by SA.

This.

 

Suddenly DailyMail has become gospel of truth for the naysayers.

 

I miss those days when Journalist would go in person to the actual source and confirm the claim with Microphone and Camera (Interview).

Aussies were hated for being abusive and borderline racist c*nts on the field, not for being dominant. 

 

Their dominance actually gave them a free pass from criticism.

These Sena chewts cant digest the fact that india is crushing all their opponents this time on all kind of pitches Batting first or second. Looks like they dint see the pitches during 2015 and 19 wc …. Where aus has made utter flat pattas against India in sf and loaded their batting till 8 with just 3 main fast bowlers and similarly english chewts while about to get knocked out changes the pitch against India at last moment to counter our spin.

Seems like media all around the world is talking about this. Bcci will need to make a statement else this won’t die down quickly.

 

India have crushed everyone on every surface so no need to worry about pitches.

But we have switched it now..so what statement... our board doesnt have confidence or who knows if team management made the request...and if we win it will become tainted...hopefully at least we can point out instances earlier where the pitch was switched.. was the 2019 match against England similarly tampered by ECB.

Obviously we all know where all the noise is coming from. Who are the most butt hurt with India's performance in the WC so far and who has gone home

No they don't. Nobody cares about external noise.

We have won test series everywhere except sa, we won odi series everywhere, Aussies had the extra things in those who watched cricket those days, they do anything to win with their talent and cheating, accept we are good now.

They had Warne and McGrath supported well by Gillespie, Lee, Kasprowicz, Clarke and many others. The extra things the Aussies had was quality in their side.

[Teengunalagaan]

All this hoopla about the pitch and side ends up scoring nearly 400
