ganeshran Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Why hasnt the BCCI still published the windies tour schedule? It starts on November 3 according to the FTP.

rkt.india Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 First test in Delhi..what rubbish...should been held at Bengaluru.
ganeshran Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Tests in Bangalore Its a dead track... would love to see a ODI there.
rkt.india Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Tests in Bangalore Its a dead track... would love to see a ODI there. No it is not a dead track. It helps seamers with the new ball at the start and has help fro spinners too. It should be a very good test wicket, better than delhi's slow tack. It has good bounce as well. It was T20, so it was made a bit flatted but will have more grass and moisture in tests.

It was T20, so it was made a bit flatted but will have more grass and moisture in tests.[/quote'] Last 5 years Bangalore is a batsman's paradise. Plus in this season, its very difficult to have a test without rain interruptions.
Pagalpanti Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It's WI we're talking about so in all 3 tests, results are possible unless rain intervenes.
kabira Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 whats so hurry, let windies come first and then we can decide schedule.
saneindian Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 It's WI we're talking about so in all 3 tests' date=' results are possible unless rain intervenes.[/quote'] We expected the same against the kiwis last year but ended up giving them flattest of pattas in the three tests. Hopefully with the 3 major centres hosting the tests, we wil not see pattas but proper test pitches. Need to win this series 3-0.
Laaloo Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 delhi and mumbai are result oriented pitches we havent played in kolkata in years and hope the bengalis dont try to screw us this time :nervous:
saneindian Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Have heard a rumour that one of the ODIs during the WI tour could be played at the newly constructed cricket stadium in Ranchi. The BCCI pitch committee inspected the stadium and the pitch and have declared the pitch to be one of the quickest in India!
rkt.india Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 This Delhi pitch looked a fantastic test wickets, will help both pacers and spinners. Need to watch out for Rampaul, Edwards, and Roach on this track.
ganeshran Posted October 17, 2011 Author Posted October 17, 2011 Give one ODI to Bangalore. But make it a day game
Pagalpanti Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Five ODIs for WI on tour of India The schedule 1st Test, November 6-10, Delhi 2nd Test, November 14-18, Kolkata 3rd Test, November 22-26, Mumbai 1st ODI (D/N), November 29, Cuttack 2nd ODI (D/N), December 2, Vishakhapatnam 3rd ODI (D/N), December 5, Ahmedabad 4th ODI (D/N), December 8, Indore 5th ODI (D/N), December 11, Chennai No big center to host the ODI's apart from Chennai. Expect roads throughout the ODI series.
kabira Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Five ODIs for WI on tour of India No big center to host the ODI's apart from Chennai. Expect roads throughout the ODI series. Ahmedabad is Metro city now.
saneindian Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 D/N matches in early winters. Not a great idea. Hopefully common sense prevails and we see a 1 PM start, else the side chasing will have a huge advantage.
Cricket Tragic Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I'm happy with the selection of venues. This is how it should be with tests at major venues and ODIs moved around the country.
Trundler27 Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 finally eden gardens is back hosting test matches..... looking forward to it..... I will never forget the epic india australia game played there...... Hopefully the crowd can stay out of trouble :winky: Let's improve our head to head test record against the windies!!! plz don't play for a lousy draw when you can try and win it (i remember laxman and company did something along those lines during the recent windies tour even though the target was a very challenging one in the fourth innings). Good luck boyz
