A few Queries on this Pitch

[Spiderguy252]

After all of that talk about home advantage and our conditions and all of that, is this the wicket we're talking about? The same old flattie where even Yuvraj can score a 75 at will? Hence the questions: are we making it look simpler than it is? Is it a spitting cobra beneath the surface? Can we get England 180 all out (potentially) using the turn on offer? Would we have, if England had batted first?

SR of 40, 38, 7 and 13. This is not a pitch to start batting. Once you settle here, make sure that you get a big score.

[Crookbond]

This pitch is benign.

No massive turn in the pitch. No Test matches in Chennai, Delhi and Kanpur which offer spinning demon pitches hence this reduces our home advantage.....Mumbai does offer sharp turn though.

[Sachinism]

Will deteriorate.

[Crookbond]

I think our bowlers have bowled very well - the pitch is very much playable.

Yeah we've lost The ball is turning square. Jesus. Day 2 aswell. GF.

[Crookbond]

I thought it was a flat pitch with Trott being the best player of spin and Swann being a better spinner than Ashwin and Ojha. :hysterical:

No dude...its a flat track.

[indiaregulator]

It was a very very very flat track for pacers. Very conductive towards spin. Poor decision in hindsight to play three seamers. Panesar is in there. And Swann is individually better than Ashwin and Ojha individually. Shame Patel is a load of crap.

[SLICKR392]

I thought it was a flat track for everyone and Trott, Compton were gonna dominate the day's play.

[Old guy]

if its spinning then its not flat track do we say england tracks are flat for spinners?

[Crookbond]

It is as flat a track for spinners as you can see. Pray! If you get a Kanpur 2008 or Mumbai 2004 England will be shot out in single figures, it seems!

[Old guy]

same track same day pujara got another hundred :winky: not that flat eh?
