Why do you want us to lose? A series loss at home after 0-4 bashing in England, will cause me to go into coma. :nervous:

Nothing is going to happen if we lose, some fringe player will be dropped.I wonder are they playing bhajji to be the scapegoat after the series.Its better if we win atleast save some face.

I think curator is just playing with English...BCCI and Jaggu were involved so I think pitch will be what Dhoni wants..

Seems so ,Using a used pitch is as good a signal.

[Yoda-esque]

The point is that if we are a better team we should defeat them, innit?

[kabira]

^we are better team at our home conditions they are better team at thier home conditions..

I dont believe that to be the case anymore.

Here's the line which caught my eye I respect his service for CAB over 2 decades but Mr. Mukherjee should be rapped up for this comment itself. I don't care about what sh!t you have with any particular personality but if you are planning to screw up the national team to get your point across you are DONE.

"Swann and Panesar will enjoy this pitch. They bowl line and length. The pitch will have good pace and bounce." True...I went nuts reading that as well...this is just unbeliavable...how can someone even say that...WTF

whats wrong with that? If we are supposed to be "better" players of spin and have "better" spin bowlers, we should take care of them

+1 I guess this is the difference between India and others. In other countries groundsmen prepare the pitches to suit their team without even being told while in India they prepare to suit the opposition to satisfy their personal egos. Why is BCCI putting up with this shi*?

Why oh why do you think that is the case. When we toured oz in 2011 they had pitches that were test pitches. They were not all flat speed tracks that the Aussi's like. The same in Dubai against Pakistan, they were very fair pitches, we just played cr*p Basically any time your golden boys lose you blame the pitch. You all think you lost 4-0 in England because of rigged pitches:hysterical: Then you lost 4-0 in Aus, I suppose they were rigged too. I do not suppose it was because you were outplayed at all:omg:

Fair point. I think we have better spinners than you on bouncier pitches. You on low slow. I think we have better batsmen on bouncier pitches Once again you guys on low slow

Yup...growing up on those fast bouncy South African pitches,might have helped a lot:winky:

No...my point was...it was a grudge statement... I got a feeling he is trying to imply he will be making a pitch which will help bowlers like Monty & Swann... if that is what he wants to come out in media and say...then its in very bad taste coming from a begrudged employee of Indian board... I have no problem with pitch being low or bouncy or seaming as well... whoever is better should win... just like last 2 tests...

[Eternal Atma]

Sack the old dog. Unless it's a bluff for them to field two spinners on a relatively benign pitch. Kolkata pitch usually dead right?

[vijay50]

This idiot guy (Prabir) prepared bouncy pitch to protest non inclusion of ganguly against south africa which SA won. I would not be surprised if this guy prepare similar pitch to protest non inclusion of Dinda. It seems that this guy had several run-ins with previous captain(Dravid etc). I dont understand why BCCI allows this guy to speak to media non stop.That this fellow is not dependent on his income for preparing pitches doesn't mean he can dish out whatever pitch he wants. This guy has to be booted out.Having a curator who does not listen to BCCI or team needs doesnt help anybody. It is like a volunteer on job who does whatever he pleases irrespective of the outcome.
