Dhoni wants same kind of pitch For Eden Gardens

[CG]

we might have struggled in this one Test but usually Indians have been good players of spin so why not go for a spinning track. It will assist our spinners if they bowl well.

With the form monty and swann are in compared to our batsman.Why not give a good wicket which turns from 3 day and it does swing in eden.Cook has had problems against zak .

Dhoni should quit captaincy and take over as a Cheif Curator of Indian Pitches.

i agree with dhoni dont care who wins as long as their is a result on 4-5th day. heck test cricket is only exciting on green top or rank turner. no point in playing on those pitches that dont do anything for the first two days.

We have got most results on 5th in last few years on good wickets.

Its not the conditions, its the players - they're mediocre. Blamed conditions for a while now, got the conditions the bowlers wanted and they choked

Its sounds good on paper.But Pitches play a major role in cricket.You cannot forget the fact.

Cricket is nothing without conditions. Cricket is all about conditions.

The bigger role is how the player reacts to the pitch and how to handles it. Our spinners failed there.

Our spinners have bowled 100+ overs in last test in 2 innings and after three days we have another test and made to bowl 40+ overs each .I though zip was missing.

[Crookbond]

Another thread to blame Dhoni cool!

[Pagalpanti]

Really what are we on about we have a great record at home on flat pitches.I really think its revenge thing which has made us prepare such tracks-

First defeat for India in 4 years @ home. :((

Sometimes when the pitch isn't offering what you need, you need to create it yourself. They should have bowled a tad quicker. There were criticisms in the first test that our spinners were too slow at times. They need to learn and adapt

[Sidhoni]

Nothing wrong in what he said.

Bowling in the 90's is not enough - you have to bowl appropriate line/length. All factors are important.

Against Ojha, Cook did. He couldn't sweep even once and was struggling a bit but the whole team had already accepted the loss and there was no energy whatsoever. Bhaji bowled at 90's but they din't look troubled as they did against Ojha as pace isn't everything, you need to turn and bowl good length and line.
