Slow turner at Wankhede for 4th India-England ODI: Curator Expect a slow turner at the Wankhede Stadium in the fourth and penultimate one-dayer between India and England on Sunday, said ground curator and former India opener Sudhir Naik on Wednesday. "It will be a slow turner, slower than what was prepared for the World Cup final (between India and Sri Lanka on April 2). It is going to be a dry wicket," he said. According to Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) sources, the Indian team management had sent in a request for a "slow turner" and that's exactly what would be served to them. This will be India's second ODI here after the venue underwent a massive renovation before the World Cup. Wankhede hosted two non-India league matches of the World Cup before the grand finale, which Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team won, beating Sri Lanka. The MCA started selling tickets of the fourth ODI from Wednesday. The highest denomination of ticket is for Rs. 20,000 in designated corporate boxes and the cheapest is for Rs. 1,000 for the popular Sunil Gavaskar stand on the east side of the stadium. Wankhede is also scheduled to host the third and final Test match between India and the West Indies from November 22-26. http://sports.ndtv.com/eng-ind-2011/news/item/179970-india-vs-england-slow-turner-at-wankhede-for-4th-india-england-odi-curator

Don't undertsand these high price tickets. Stadiums are empty this series. I guess we will see a full house in Kolkata as no world cup and CL matches were held there. Kolkata crowd must be hungry for some cricket.

that the way to go, i say make it turning minefield, where even munaf could spin it, that i'll teach those poms with there fast seaming tracks.

Delhi track was best. It had something for everyone. Good track to bowl and bat. I would be happy to see more tracks like that in ODIs.
Tbh England made it look sportive but it was a flat track, India showed it. I'd prefer tracks like Hyd, which are more in favour of India. We should prepare turners.

The Samosa Patel story is a genuine farce. All the regret that he could not slim down enough to be England's key man at the World Cup. Six months later he is the same shape and they call him up. He bowls as well as eats pies. Now he is giving it large. I am liking that even his Wiki page describes him as the 'portly English cricketer'.

They had another left armer so called allrounder in world cup, what was his name. He was better bowler though. The have leggie who can be allrounder, so why play this limited player. He can hardly play spin.
