prepare 11 result oriented pitches this year

[Sehwag1830]

If we can learn anything from England/Australia tour we must prepare every pitch result oriented.If the team is weak , we should hammer them. Can't afford another round of 1-0,2-0 test series victory margin against NZ, ENG,OZ. We should try to win each of the test matches and atleast win 8 to 9 of those 11 test.

Who said we are even going to win those series?

So we can't even win at home now.

On flat tracks or pattas nope. We don'thave the bowling to get the sides out on pattas whereas our batting is not what it used to be. We need to prepare turners and put us in the best position to win the series.

Only 10 matches brah.

Are our spinners better than "their" spinners?

Ashwin and Ojha are far better than any spin options from England & Aus. And the most important part is that our batsmen are far better players of spin than English and Aussies.

Yup as a bowling unit they are better than Swann. And at home I would expect both Aswin & Ojha to take more wkts against Eng batsmen than what Swann would take against India.

We have had 9 results out of the 13 so far. Add the last test vs WI which nearly had a result and you have 10/13 producing results. Barring that NZ series in 2010, we haven't had absolute flat roads for sometime now, though some of the pitches have done tricks only towards end of day 4 and on day 5 to have a result. Hopefully that trend will continue. We do not really need rank turners, rather pitches that aid spin but have also some good bounce to go with it.

draws have as much to do with captaincy as with pitches.

We need result oriented pitches come on

That takes delusion to a new level. Swann + Panesar are epochs ahead of Ashwin + Ojha. At don't even try and bring Dartbajhan into it. Here's what will happen. You create 4 pancakes or highways vs England/Aus, you'll probably draw vs Aus 0-0 and you'll probably lose to England, if the SC bowling by the England quickies have been anything to go by. Indian quicks won't really trouble them and England/Aus have both got devastating fast bowlers. Create greentops or swinging/seaming pitches India will get hammered to pieces. Quite frankly Pattinson,Cummins, Siddle, Harris or Anderson, Broad, Bresnan, Finn will slaughter anything in front of them in a greentop. Create rank turners, you'll easily beat Australia, given Lyon is utter shambles but it might backfire vs England. By that time the old guard who are masters of spin will be gone and we don't know how the new young batsman are against the likes of Swann yet. It will be a test of fire. However, it does give India a much better chance given both the teams recent woes against spin.
